Governor Adeleke vows to complete the Ejigbo-Iwo road, as Ogiyan endorses Adeleke 

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has assured the people of Ejigbo that his administration will fulfil all promises made to the community, including the completion of the ongoing Ejigbo-Iwo road project.

The governor, who gave the assurance while speaking during the inauguration of road projects in Ejigbo, said those who doubted his administration’s ability to perform had been proved wrong by the projects delivered across the state, expressing appreciation to the royal fathers for standing by his government.

He said, “They once predicted that we wouldn’t perform, but I surprised them. I deliver so well. I want to commend the royal fathers for your backings. I remember all my promises to the Ogiyan, and I will fulfil them by the grace of God.

“I want to assure you, my father, the Ogiyan, that you will commission the Ejigbo/Iwo road once completed. I love you all. I thank you all for your support.”

In his remarks, Oba Oyeyode Oyesosin, the Ogiyan of Ejigbo, appreciated the Adeleke administration for executing road projects that had long been a source of concern to Ejigbo and neighbouring communities.

The monarch who described the interventions as significant said, “With what Adeleke has done, I want to tell my subjects, I know that you always hear me and understand my language. I want to tell you that we are going to cast all our votes for Governor Ademola Adeleke.”

Earlier, Bello Bashir, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, disclosed that the Ejigbo-Iwo road is a 33-kilometre intercity road connecting more than seven communities, including Ejigbo, Ilawo, Iwata, Ijimoba, Alagba, Iwo-Oke, Ibarapa, Amere and Iwo.

He said the reconstruction was divided into two segments, with the first 12 kilometres awarded to De-Log Construction Company Limited and Time Building and Construction Limited, adding that the section is ready for commissioning.

Bashir also said the 10.7-kilometre Ejigbo-Isoko-Aiye Oguro-Oyo State road had been approved for reconstruction in two phases, while the administration reconstructed the four-kilometre Ejigbo-Ika-Orangun and Gaa-Gbonka roads in line with engineering standards and specifications.
