Epe-Ijebu Ode Road tolling begins March, says Ogun
The Ogun State Government has announced that tolling operations will commence on the Epe-Mojoda-Ijebu-Ode Expressway starting Monday, March 24, 2025.
The decision aims to ensure sustainable road maintenance, efficient operations, and improved road safety.
The 14.7km expressway, which had been in a dilapidated state for years, was rebuilt by Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration into a modern highway with toll booths and updated infrastructure.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Director-General of the Office of Public-Private Partnerships, Dapo Oduwole, explained that although the road was built under a PPP arrangement, tolling was delayed since 2021 due to the governor’s commitment to easing financial burdens on residents.
