The 2.75-kilometer road links the University of Ilorin main campus to the institution’s Teaching Hospital, thereby easing vehicular movement along the axis.

 

Represented at the event by the

Federal Controller of Works in Kwara State, Engineer Lasisi Rafiu, the minister described the project as an investment in education.

 

“Today, we converge at the University of Ilorin Main Campus to hand over an important asset, 2.75 kilometres rehabilitated/reconstructed by the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing on behalf of the Federal Government.

 

“While it is true that a lot of work needs to be done in many sectors of our national life, including education, the Buhari government has stepped up to lead the process of getting that work done.

 

“The gap of our infrastructure needs is steadily being bridged by a gradual process of repairs, renewal and construction on major highways and it has reached the schools.

 

“It is undebatable that quality of education will be impacted by the quality of infrastructure and the learning environment and those who doubt it should simply listen to some of the feedback from students in the schools where this type of intervention has taken place.

 

“The students are expressing renewed enthusiasm with regards to attending classes, because some defective roads, have been restored to good condition.

 

“This is consistent with our progressive ideal of improving the human condition; and that process continues here today as we hand over this one in University of Ilorin Main Campus as a critical intervention to support education.

 

“During the construction, 85 people were employed in the process contributing to the job creation initiatives of the government, and it is hoped that the school will now ensure that this asset is used properly and not abused,” Fashola stated.

 

Vice Chancellor, University of Ilorin, Prof Wahab Olasupo Egbewole (SAN), said that the road is pivotal to the movement of staff and students between the main campus and the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital through the College of Health Sciences.
