The Osun State Ministry of Works has revealed that the present administration under the leadership of Senator Ademola Adeleke has completed over 50km of roads across the nine federal constituencies of the state while about 40km are still ongoing.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Engr Bashir Bello, who was represented by the Director of Highways in the Ministry, Engr. Maruf – Akanni Ojebode made this known during a sensitisation programme on Wednesday in Osogbo.
He said that Governor Adeleke has fashioned out ways that will ensure the speedy completion of all the road projects that are being done through direct labour,
While emphasising that the present government has continued road projects that could not be completed by previous administrations, the Permanent Secretary said Governor Adeleke has shown a high level of commitment to the development of every nook cranny of the State.
In his words; “Let me take this opportunity to commend the Osun State House of Assembly for their recent inspection of the ongoing reconstruction of Osogbo/Iwo – Oyo State boundary road where they expressed their displeasure with the slow pace of work on the project.
“It will interest you to know that the contractors have redoubled their efforts on the project to meet up with the deadline for its completion. This is how it should be, that visit to the road project by our lawmakers goes a long way to show that the present government is determined to put tax payers money into good use.”
He implored residents of the State to always support the government by protecting all public facilities in their areas for the benefit of all.
