THE Oyo State governor, Seyi Makinde, on Tuesday, announced that his administration had spent up to N40 billion on the construction and reconstruction of different roads that link Oke Ogun to other zones of the state.
He made this announcement during his campaign visits to several communities in Iwajowa Local Government Area of the state.
Makinde assured the rural dwellers that his administration would explore solid mineral potentials of communities in the local government.
A statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa, on behalf of Media Committee of Seyi Makinde Campaign Council, indicated that the governor met with the League of Imams and Alfas, the leadership of the Christian Association of Nigeria and non-indigenes in the council.
At the separate meetings, the governor explained that his administration has been able to impact massively on the economy of the state by building infrastructure that targets the economic expansion agenda of the government and connecting all zones of the state.
The governor, who appreciated religious leaders for their prayers and support and for maintaining religious harmony since he became governor in 2019, added that part of his administration’s commitment to reducing infrastructure deficit under Omituntun 1.0 was the approval of the construction of Idiko Ile-Ijio road and the partial reconstruction of Idiko Ile-Alaga Road.
He maintained that he had fulfilled his promises to the people of the state on education, poverty eradication and security in the last 44 months, saying that the state will witness more developments under Omituntun 2.0.
Makinde urged the people to vote for him and his running mate, Bayo Lawal in the March 11 governorship election.
