This was disclosed in a statement by the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, obtained on Wednesday in Osogbo, the state capital.
The statement noted that documentation processes were being completed on proposed flyovers across the three Senatorial Districts in the state.
Rasheed explained that while speaking at the launch of the construction work on the roads, totalling 11.17 kilometres and expected to be completed within the next year, Adeleke assured that quality infrastructure would be delivered for the use of the Osun people.
The statement read in parts, “The dualisation of Old Garage Roundabout to Okefia Roundabout to Lameco Roundabout, Osogbo has commenced alongside the dualisation of Akoda Junction to Cottage Junction to Baptist High School Area, Ede.
“The construction of flyovers at Ile Ife, Osogbo and Ede is to commence in due course as soon as the ongoing documentation processes are completed.”
Commenting, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Mr. Bashir Bello, who noted that earthwork has commenced on the roads, further said, “The contractors have mobilized to sites. We are glad our people have been reporting the commencement of work even before we make an official announcement.
“In the next few days, we will announce likely diversions and alternative traffic routes. All efforts will be made to make the construction process as people-friendly as possible.”
He further explained that the Ministry, in line with Adeleke’s directive, has complied with due process and procurement laws, assuring that all hands were on deck to deliver the projects as scheduled.
