He said Oyebanji had made a case for the roads as part of his shared prosperity agenda of his administration.

The minister, who was received by the governor at the Akure Airport, inspected the Akure- Ikere -Ado dualised road, the Ado- ABUAD- Ijan Road that was recently awarded, and visited the ABUAD Industrial Park Road which is a model of concrete road construction.
