The Oyo State Government has reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to completing all ongoing infrastructure projects across the state before the end of the current administration in 2027.
The Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Bayo Lawal, gave this assurance during an on-the-spot inspection of ongoing projects under the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP).
The inspection covered two major project sites: the 8.24 km Okudu-Oyada-FRSC Road, spanning Atisbo and Saki West Local Government Areas; and the 21.953 km Oloko-Oyo-Orita Aloba Road, in Iseyin Local Government Area.
Lawal emphasised that the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, under the Omotuntun 2.0 agenda, is dedicated to providing high-quality infrastructure that will improve rural connectivity, boost agricultural productivity, and enhance the standard of living for residents.
He stated: ”Governor Seyi Makinde’s vision is clear and deliberate; no project will be abandoned. Every ongoing road construction and rural development initiative will be completed and handed over to the people of Oyo State before this administration ends in 2027.”
The Deputy Governor applauded the progress made so far on the RAAMP projects and assured that the government will continue to supervise and support contractors to ensure timely and high-quality completion.
He also reiterated that the Makinde-led administration remains dedicated to transparency, accountability, and people-centred governance, ensuring residents that the benefits of current investments will be experienced across every zone in the state.
In recognising the state government’s efforts to improve food security, the Secretary of the Grievance Redress Committee for the Okudu-Oyada Road, Mr. Abdulraheem Mojid, noted that road construction has greatly enhanced the livelihoods of residents in the Tede/Saki communities and surrounding areas.
The Deputy Governor was accompanied by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Barrister Olasunkanmi Olaleye; the State Project Coordinator, Mrs. Adeola Ekundayo; and other key stakeholders.
