Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde on Thursday has commissioned the 8.2km Agodi Gate-Old Ife Road-Alakia-Adegbayi dualised road.
The commissioning was done alongside his Osun State counterpart, Sen. Ademola Adeleke which included the underpass bridge at the Onipepeye area of Ibadan.
In his speech, the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde said the completion of the road project is a further testament to his government’s commitment to the expansion of Oyo State economy.
” And the expansion of our economy is very important to sustainable development. As we continue to attract large, medium and small businesses into Oyo State, the pressure on our infrastructure increases, and then there is a need to upgrade them. This is why we have chosen to keep investing in infrastructural development.” He stated.
According to him, governance is the ability to convert limited resources to meet the growing needs of the population by prioritizing projects that maximize value.
“Our goal is to upgrade cities and towns in Oyo State to places that we can all be proud of. We do not want to leave any communities behind. So, if we had all the resources at our disposal, we would do more at a faster rate. As we all know, our wants and needs are infinite, but the resources to meet them are limited. We often have to prioritise and decide which projects will bring the best value to the good people of Oyo State.
“This is indeed the true definition of governance. Good governance is the ability to use limited resources to meet the growing needs of the population by prioritising projects that maximise value. And this is exactly what we are doing in Oyo State.
” So, as we commission this dualised 8.2 km Agodi Gate-Old Ife Road-Alakia-Adegbayi Road Including the Underpass Bridge at the Onipepeye Area of Ibadan, it is another time to remind the good people of Oyo State to stay with the vision. Do not be distracted by people who do not have your best interests at heart. We can already see them starting 2027 propaganda, it is not even a year after the last election. For now, we are concentrating on delivering good governance to our people and not what will or will not happen in 2027. We are determined to deliver on our 2023 mandate and ensure that good governance continues in our dear State” The governor said.
