Oyetola
Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State, on Thursday, described the newly reconstructed 13.15km Ada-Igbajo road as a fulfillment of another campaign promise.
The governor had declared in his inaugural address that his administration recognised the importance of intra and inter-city roads to facilitate movement of goods and people, and would continue to muster resources to build strategic roads across the state.
The Ada-Igbajo road was part of the 54.3km span of township roads across the three senatorial districts of the state that Oyetola approved for construction, reconstruction or rehabilitation, after about three decades of their last reconstruction or actual construction.
Other township roads include: Akindeko-Awosuru link road, via Adejumo street, with a spur to Oremeji, Akinlade Street, Adewale Street, with a loop to WAEC road; rehabilitation/complete overlay of 25.8km Army Barracks (Ede)-Ara-Ejigbo township road; rehabilitation and complete overlay of 8.10km Moro-Yakoyo-Ipetumodu-Asipa-Ife/Ibadan Expressway Junction road; and rehabilitation/complete overlay of 4.38km Ereja Roundabout-Ereguru-Isaare-Oke Oye-Sabo (Irojo)-Ilesa/Akure Expressway Junction.
Speaking at the inauguartion of the Ada-Igbajo road, Oyetola restated his administration’s commitment to sustaining road construction on the state for its socio-economic transformation.
He said his administration is irrevocably resolved to engage in meaningful infrastructure and economic endeavours to achieve economic transformation and equitable development of major towns and villages in Osun.
The Ada-Igbajo road was first constructed in the old Western Nigeria by the then Premier, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, in the mid-50s and re-constructed in 1987-1988 by the military government of the old Oyo State
Oyetola urged residents and indigenes of the community to take advantage of the road to improve on meaningful agricultural, trading and entrepreneurial efforts for personal and socio-economic development.
He stated: “I rejoice with the monarchs and people of Ada and Igbajo and their environs on the inauguration of this important road. I urge you to take advantage of this road to improve on meaningful agricultural, trading and entrepreneurial efforts for personal and economic development.
“As I mentioned during the flag-off of this road last year, every abandoned project diminishes our people and compromises the desired economic development and transformation of our State. As you are all aware, in addition to undertaking massive road construction and rehabilitation, we have, as a government, embarked on the completion of all the uncompleted roads by our predecessor, including federal roads.”
