Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has vowed to hand over a roadmap for sustainable development beyond 2027 to the next administration to sustain the state’s development drive.
The governor stated this when some journalists, under the aegis of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), visited the state on a tour of some infrastructure projects.
Praising Governor Makinde for his quality leadership style while speaking on behalf of the president, NGE, Mr Eze Anaba, the deputy president, Mrs Husseina Akila, described the governor as a gender-friendly individual with the appointment of women into critical positions in his administration.
She described Makinde as an example to other governors.
The state’s commissioner for information and orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, said the editors stormed Oyo State on the invitation of Makinde to tour the various infrastructural projects in the state.
According to him, the morning began in a cheerful atmosphere at the executive chamber of the state government at Agodi, Ibadan as the governor welcomed the editors.
Oyelade said the governor later took the visitors on a tour of some of the state’s infrastructural projects, including the 11 megawatt alternative power project, the ongoing 110km circular road project, the Omololu Olunloyo park, and the 65km Ibadan-Iseyin road.
On the circular road, the governor said his administration would have completed 70km out of the 110km stretch by next year.
He said that by the end of his second term as governor, his administration will hand over a roadmap for the sustainable development of Oyo State beyond 2027 to the next administration to sustain the state’s development drive.
While touring the 65km Ibadan-Iseyin Road, the governor said he would give $1,000 to any of the 72 Journalists if they found any pothole on the road, but they could not find any.
