Gov. Seyi Makinde Has Turned Oyo State into Investors and Tourist Haven by IJOBA AUTHORITY MOE

Gov. Seyi Makinde Has Turned Oyo State into Investors and Tourist Haven by IJOBA AUTHORITY MOE 

Before some charlatans, vilified souls purveyors of fake news, men of doom, small minds begin to ask for Seyi Makinde's achievements that he didn't do anything, let me use this medium to refresh their memory despite that he had not done so much on our inner roads, he had Constructed 180km of roads in 4years if not more than.

His administration had awarded 38 roads if not more than that which is equivalent to 800KM across the State and 458KM are ongoing till date.

For the sake of records and posterity, between 2011-2019 under the leadership of late Sen. former Gov. Isiaq Abiola Akanji Ajimobi, his administration ONLY constructed just 33KM of roads in that 8years and heaven didn't fall.

Today, His Excellency Engr. Sir. Dsc. GSSRS KJW Abiodun Seyi Makinde , Ilufemiloye1, Aare Atunluse, Aare Orile Igbon Kingdom, The Idan Gangan, Vice Chairman NGF, has turned Oyo State to Haven for investors, tourist attractions and worthwhile for the good people of Oyo State and beyond. Meaning that, what GSM has done between 2019 accelerated development omituntun 1.0 till date of 2023 Sustainable Development Action omituntun 2.0, No other Government has constructed more roads than his administration.

Remember, where roads goes, development follows. Gov. Makinde had successfully linked all 33 LG in Oyo State together by way of his pragmatic leadership capacity, commitment, passion, conviction and focus. As of today, over 191km of inner roads done but not enough hence the reasons for the ongoing budget proposals and defense to be concluded soon for legislative review, concurrence and approval by Gov Seyi Makinde towards 2024.

Meanwhile, the total number of kilometer of inner roads to be action upon are not up to 100km and will be fixed at a systematic pace of this administration. We all know that His Excellency is a man that follows due process to the letter and same will be applied to this course without following any short cut.

As I round off, all the seven Geo political zones in Oyo State has been linked successfully while Igboora the central part of the 7cities (Ayete, Idere, Eruwa, Lanlate, Igangan and Tapa) in Ibarapa Land too is about to be connected to Oke Ogun zone as assured and promised by GSM during the world Twins Day Celebration in Igboora.
