Governor Ademola Adeleke Unveils Transformative N100 Billion Infrastructural Initiative




Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, revealed a groundbreaking plan to revolutionize the state's infrastructure, encompassing the construction of 45 kilometers of roads and five strategically positioned flyovers. This extensive endeavor is slated for completion within a remarkably swift twelve-month timeframe.

Addressing a gathering at the flag-off ceremony held at the Governor's office in Osogbo, Governor Adeleke emphasized that the substantial funding for this ambitious project would be internally generated, without reliance on external financial institutions. He further outlined that 1.5 kilometers of roads would be meticulously selected in each of the 30 local government areas, with particular emphasis on roads in Osogbo, Ilesa, and Ede in the initial phase.

Governor Adeleke expounded, "We are embarking on a comprehensive initiative that includes the construction of 45 kilometers of roads across the LGAs, building on the 45 kilometers already completed. These new roads represent a fresh wave of projects in phase two." He stressed the vital importance of reducing traffic congestion and accidents, which would be addressed through the dualization of key roads in major towns, including Osogbo, Ede, and Ilesha.

In addition to road projects, the government is set to construct five strategically located flyovers, specifically at Okefia and Lameco junctions in Osogbo, one in Ikirun, one in Ife, and another in Mayfair, Owode Ede, all designed to alleviate traffic bottlenecks and accidents.

Governor Adeleke also unveiled a multifaceted approach to infrastructural development, encompassing vital sectors like health, education, and water supply. The installation of street lights, particularly in Osogbo, the state capital, was emphasized for enhanced security surveillance and to catalyze nighttime economic activities.

Phase two of the initiative will focus on the comprehensive rehabilitation of 31 schools across the 30 mother local governments of Osun and Area Council. This extensive effort includes the provision of portable water supply, new roofing, modernized restroom facilities, building renovations, and the provision of essential learning resources like desks and chairs.

Governor Adeleke assured, "All these projects will be completed within 12 months by the grace of God."

Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, commended the governor for prioritizing a people-centric governance approach. He confirmed that the infrastructural program, which surpasses N100 billion, marks a historic milestone for the state. Every outlined project is slated for completion within an ambitious twelve-month timeframe, underscoring a new era of infrastructural development across various critical sectors.
