Rt. Hon. Leke Joseph Abejide, the representative for Yagba East, Yagba West, and Mopamuro in the House of Representatives, has officially opened the Okeaga Road in Odo-Ere, Kogi State. This event highlights his commitment to improving infrastructure and living conditions for local residents.

Abejide noted that good roads are vital for economic growth and community development. He emphasized that the new road will help people access markets more easily, improve transportation, and create opportunities for economic activities.

During the commissioning, Abejide stated that this project is more than just opening a road; it is about turning development plans into real benefits for the community.
