WPB: Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the Governor of Ondo State in Nigeria, has directed the expedited completion of 50 township road projects currently underway in all 18 local government areas of the state.
Reports indicate that the governor has authorized the release of funds to ensure the successful execution of these projects, which include asphalt overlays, road reconstruction, and rehabilitation of selected routes across Ondo.
This development was revealed by Ayoade Babalola, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure, during a press briefing in Akure, the state’s capital, on Tuesday.
Babalola highlighted that this initiative represents a fulfillment of one of Aiyedatiwa’s key campaign pledges to prioritize road infrastructure improvement.
“The governor’s commitment to infrastructure development is evident, as investment in road projects plays a vital role in strengthening transportation networks, boosting economic activities, and enhancing the standard of living,” Babalola remarked.
He further noted that contracts for asphalt overlay on 60 kilometers of roads throughout the state had been awarded in August 2024, and work has been underway for several months. “This reflects the governor’s unwavering dedication to transforming Ondo’s road infrastructure,” Babalola added.
The projects span multiple areas, including Akure, Ondo, Owo, Ikare Akoko, Okitipupa, Ilaje, and Idanre, among others, underscoring the government’s commitment to widespread development across the state.
