And worried by the deplorable state of the Ikare- Oke Agbe-Akoko Road, one of the federal roads in the state, Mimiko directed the Ondo State Agency for Road Rehabilitation and Maintenance (OSAMCO), to extend the ongoing rehabilitation of Oke Agbe township road to the 11km Ikare-Oke Agbe Akoko federal road with immediate effect.
He described the federal road as highly deplorable, noting that his resolve from the inception of his administration was to ensure there was no such bad road in any part of the state.

“All the road projects carried out by this government are aimed at ensuring comfort for road users. It is also to facilitate improvement on socio-economic activities of the people.
