• Osun State Governor reconstructs the road after 33 years of abandonment

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Thursday inaugurated the newly reconstructed Ada-Igbajo road after 33 years of neglect.

Speaking at the inauguration of the project, the governor said, “the choice of the road for reconstruction was in view of its importance as it is central to the tourism and hospitality potential of the State in view of its stretches to Igbajo, the home of the Great Kiriji war site, and the ultra-modern Miccom Golf Hotels and Resort, Ada.”

He said the timely reconstruction and delivery of the road in line with approved specifications were an attestation to his promise to live by his word and never to compromise quality under any guise.

“With the inauguration of the new road, the time of travel from Osogbo, the Osun State capital has been reduced by 45 minutes. Before the reconstruction, time of travel is 60 minutes.”

“This is even as the residents of the benefitting communities lauded the government for fixing the road, saying the gesture has rekindled their hope and further endeared them to his Administration.”

Governor Oyetola had on September 1, 2020, flagged off the reconstruction of the road that had been in a deplorable state and neglected for about 33 years.

He said: “The road, which was first constructed under the defunct Western Region by the then Premier, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo in the mid-50s, and reconstructed in 1987-1988 by the military government of old Oyo State, had hitherto become a death trap for motorists and residents of the axis, particularly peasant farmers whose means of livelihood depended on the state of the road.

“The timely reconstruction and prompt delivery of the road are a deserved relief to the people of Igbajo and Ada who have waited with bated breath and dashed hopes over the ‘sorry state’ of the road since it was last reconstructed in 1988.”
