Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde has approved N9. 6 billion for the dualisation of Akobo-Ojurin- Olorunda Abaa/Odogbo Barracks by N.O Idowu College.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Mr. Joel Olaleye Ajagbe who disclosed this at the weekend, said the project which will be executed by Lagelu Local Government, would ameliorate the sufferings of motorists and pedestrians.
It would be recalled that the Governor about two months ago assured that his administration would award the project for the construction of the 8.3 kilometres road in Lagelu Local Government Area of Ibadan before the expiration of the first term of his administration.
The Permanent Secretary explained that the award of the contract would be in tandem with Governor Makinde’s commitment to continue working for the people of the state till the end of his first term in office.
Governor Makinde’s administration had earlier completed the first phase of the project on the Basorun-Idi Ape-Akobo-Ojurin axis as well as the General Gas Flyover.
Ajagbe said after completion, the project would provide a good and accessible road for the teeming populace.
