Akande-Sadipe said that if rehabilitated, the 25-kilometre Olomi-Ijebu Igbo road and the 35-kilometre stretch of Liberty Academy road, which connects Oyo State with neighbouring Ogun State, would stimulate economic activities, attract local and foreign investment, improve the quality of road network and reduce the hardship on her constituents.
