Abiodun noted that agreement would soon be reached with the Federal Government to reconstruct the road.
He said this while inaugurating the Itori Township Road in the Ewekoro Local Government Area of the state.
He declared that his administration would fix the major roads that are in deplorable condition.
The governor said, “The reconstruction of the road is in fulfilment of the promise made during the 2019 campaign,” adding “the essence of government is to serve the people.”
“My administration remains the first to ensure equal distribution of projects to all parts of the state. No local government has been left out in project execution,” he said.
He assured the people that his administration would soon commence the construction of affordable houses in Itori, the headquarters of the local government.
He disclosed that previous efforts made by his administration were not successful as the FG insisted that the road was under a contract.
Addressing the party faithful and people at the campaign rally in Papalanto, the governor promised that the old Ilaro road in the town would soon be reconstructed, while more blocks of classrooms and the renovation of the old structures would be carried out in Papalanto High School.
The governor, while acknowledging the importance of good roads in the socio-economic development of the society, noted that the road when rebuilt would further boost the economic activities in the area.
He, however, urged the people to collect their Permanent Voter Cards to enable them to partake in the forthcoming general election.
In his remarks, the Olu of Itori, Oba Fatai Akamo, said the road had been in a deplorable condition for a long time, as previous governments paid little or no attention to it. He expressed delight that something was eventually being done.
