The governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has flagged off the dualisation of the Akungba-Ikare Road in Akoko, describing the project as a monumental stride toward infrastructural transformation and public safety.

With this development, the Aiyedatiwa administration now has one dualisation project ongoing in each of the state’s three senatorial districts (Akure-Idanre in the central, Igbokoda-Okitipupa in the South, and Akungba-Ikare in the North).

Speaking at the flag-off ceremony yesterday, beside the main gate of the Adekunle Ajasin University in Akungba-Akoko, Governor Aiyedatiwa declared that the project represents far more than the physical construction of the road as it symbolises a bold statement of purpose and compassion from his administration.

He emphasised that the Akungba-Ikare corridor serves as a lifeline for the Northern Senatorial District and is critical in connecting Ondo State to adjoining federal highways.

The decision to dualise the road, he explained, was based on a comprehensive assessment of the region’s needs in alignment with the national vision of prosperity championed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Governor Aiyedatiwa painted a vivid picture of the daily challenges residents face on the existing narrow and congested road and the regular occurrence of fatal accidents. He described the road not just as a physical burden but as a “daily challenge that has tested the patience and resilience” of the people.

The governor said, “This is not just another project being initiated within our 100 days in office; it is a monumental stride in our Administration’s journey, a beacon of progress following closely on the heels of other impactful initiatives.

 

‘This dualisation project emerges as a compassionate, strategic imperative. We are not just building infrastructure; we are building resilience and peace of mind for the future of this senatorial district.”

 

He reaffirmed the administration’s unwavering resolve to use every available legal, political, technological, and institutional tool to transform Ondo State into a prime destination for investment, education, tourism, and quality living.

 

“To our good people in Akungba, Ikare, and indeed all across Akokoland, I want to specifically reaffirm the steadfast commitment of our government to doing all that is necessary to uplift your standard of living. Your well-being and advancement are at the very core of our mission,” the governor declared.

 

In his welcome address, the special adviser to the governor on Infrastructure, Lands, and Housing, Engr Abiola Olawoye, expressed deep appreciation to Governor Aiyedatiwa for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to infrastructural development in the state.

 

He described the Akungba-Ikare road dualisation project as a significant milestone in the actualisation of the governor’s “OUR EASE” agenda, which prioritises urban renewal and ease of transportation.

Providing a technical breakdown of the project, Olawoye explained that the road would span a total length of 6.7 kilometres. It features a 28-meter corridor, including a 3-meter utility lane and a dual carriageway measuring 9.3 meters on each side. Walkways will be constructed on both sides of the road to enhance pedestrian safety.

The project will also include the installation of traffic lights and solar-powered streetlights, ensuring safe and energy-efficient travel. Importantly, the road is being engineered to accommodate the movement of heavy-duty trucks, which is common in the area due to its commercial and academic activities.

In his goodwill message, Senator Olajide Ipinsagba, who represents Ondo North senatorial district in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, stated that a historic milestone is being recorded in Akoko land with the flag-off of the Ikare-Akungba dual carriageway.

Also, Hon. Adefarati Gboyega, representing Akoko South East/South West federal constituency in the House of Representatives,

commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for initiating such a visionary and impactful project.

Similarly, the Olubaka of Oka Kingdom, Oba Adebori Adeleye, who spoke on behalf of other traditional rulers in Akoko, also extended appreciation to the governor. He commended the administration for prioritising the development needs of the Akoko people and for bringing long-overdue infrastructure to the region.
