 Makinde: Elevating The Brown Roofs Oyo State To Greener Pastures for Tourist Destinations under Commissioner for Lands Akin-Funmilayo || By MOE

It's undeniable that under Governor Seyi Makinde's administration in Oyo State has experienced remarkable development within just five years, earning him the accolade of the most beloved Governor in the state's history.

Prior to Governor Makinde's tenure, the landscape of urban development and tourism in Ibadan, Oyo State, lacked substantial progress. However, his administration's arrival marked a pivotal shift from Poverty to Prosperity.

Despite some dissenting voices questioning Governor Makinde's leadership, it's essential to confront such skepticism with factual evidence. Commissioner Williams Akin-Funmilayo, overseeing the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, has been instrumental in driving these transformative initiatives.

His diligent efforts in revitalizing dormant lands and expanding the state's economy through urbanization are commendable. Notable projects like the Lere Adigun GRAs, Rashid Adewolu Ladoja in Ajoda Town, Baba Koleoso Area, emerging Baywood Estate, and the Dr. Omololu Olunloyo International Park at Airport-Alakia Road signify substantial strides towards Oyo State's extensive growth.

Akin-Funmilayo leadership underscores the government's unwavering commitment to sustainable development and attracting investors to Oyo State, positioning it as a prime destination for tourism and investment which is the goal of His Excellency, Engr Seyi Makinde FNSE the Fogbontolu of Oyo State.

It's imperative to emphasize that these developments are conducted with strict adherence to legal and environmental protocols, showcasing the government's transparency and responsible governance under Commissioner Akin-Funmilayo's stewardship.

In essence, the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development is poised for further advancements, with ongoing projects aimed at bolstering economic recovery and delivering tangible benefits to the people of Oyo State.

As I ink out, my advice to those ranting, causing confusion in the state and technically looking for cheap attention is that, they should wait to see the outcome of these development and not creating unnecessary noise, vilified news.

Commissioner Akin-Funmilayo's commitment, dedication and Governor Makinde's vision to Sustainable Development herald a promising future for Oyo State, elevating it to unprecedented heights in its history.

 Aghahowa, Achiv on Target as Shooting Stars Beat Lobi Stars 2-0

Shooting Stars Sports Club (3SC) of Ibadan, on Tuesday at the Lekan Salami Sports Complex, humbled Lobi Stars of Makurdi, 2-0, to maintain their blistering form.

A goal in each half was all the Oluyole Warriors needed to silence the visitors, who however gave the Ibadan soccer lords, a run for their money.

The matchday 30 fixture was barely three minutes old when the homers found the back of the net through Alex Aghahowa who scored from a close range after goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel spilled a well taken free kick by skipper Malomo Taofeek.

The goal brought out the best in both sides as the visitors pressed for the leveller while Shooting Stars made efforts to increase the tally.

None of the two sides could however make their efforts count, thus ending the first half 1-0 in favour of 3SC.

Backed by their vociferous crowd, the coach Gbenga Ogunbote tutored lads started the second half on high, bombarding the visitors' goal area for more goals but were shy in front of goal.

Lobi Stars came back stronger into the game later on, creating some anxious moments in the Shooting Stars' goal area but goalkeeper Odah Okemute produced astonishing saves on number of occassions to prevent the visitors from equalising.

Substitute, Douglas Achiv, put the game beyond the hard fighting Lobi Stars with the second goal, lashing onto a rebound after goalkeeper Emmanuel, again failed to handle Christian Pyagbara's shot, to send the stadium into wild jubilation.

The win pushed the Oluyole Warriors to the fourth position, with 49 points from 30 matches and the Ibadan soccer lords, will next face Heartland FC of Owerri in a Matchday 31 encounter slated for this Friday.
