Governor Mimiko's Roads & infrastructural
development of the city of Akure has not only
brought development to the city but has also
given Akure a true capital city outlook.
FACTS:
1) The amount
of work Iroko did
on the long
stretch Adesida/
Oyemekun road
(from Fiwasaiye
to FUTA junction
road block alone
will cover
nothing less
than 100 street
roads. Besides
being a dual
carriage way
that span over 9
kilometers,grade A asphalt overlay were
effected all through.
The road was completely transformed by Mimiko
with quality asphalt from beginning to the end.
What about the following: modern functioning
street lights powered by diesel generator for the
past four years non stop,over 40 parks including
the phenomenal democracy park, 16 modern
bus stops,rechannelization of the waterways,the
two big roundabouts and the decorations,the
modern roads signs,the bridges,massive
drainages and retention walls.
Do some even realize that over 80 buildings
were demolished to give way for the Democracy
Park with compensation paid to all the owners
without complaints from any angle?
2) Arakale road: this is a 5 kilometer road
dualized with quality asphalt overlay. Over 200
buildings including banks were demolished and
compensation paid to every owner without
complaints from any source. Six massive parks
were established on the road after the
demolition of several other buildings. Bus stops
and non stop diesel powered functioning street
lights for the past one and a half years. Two
massive roundabouts at both ends of the road.
The total reconstruction and transformation of
the NEPA market into a modern shopping mall
to change the look of the road.
If Mimiko left the road as it was and channelled
the money,energy and time on this road on
some streets in Akure,tell me how many roads/
streets that will give you.
3) Oke-Ijebu road : this long stretch road
completely repaired by Mimiko with
walkways,bridges and Channelization of
waterways and street linings.
4) Oke Aro: another long stretch repaired by
Iroko.
5) Reuben Fasoranti road (Fiwasaiye to Owo
junction): work was less than 30% on this road
when Mimiko took over. He completed this road
with quality asphalt,walk ways, solar powered
lights, incorporated a big roundabout,six
modern bus stops and good drainage system.
6) Ondo road dualization: Work was less than
30% completed when Mimiko took over. The
governor completed this work started by Dr.
Agagu with functioning non stop diesel powered
street lights for the past four years.
7) The Oda estate roads: the work done here will
give you ten good streets which some other
governors might be commissioning. The road
now links up with ijoka.
Adegbola junction to Ilesha express,through
Akure High school area. I don't know the exact
kilometers but the work done by Mimiko here is
enormous.
9) The roads neighbouring Isikan market and
the Channelization, drainages and bridge works
around there. (Check out Omi yeye and Omi
elegbin,two big streams that used to kill people
and destroy properties before Mimiko came).
10) The roads around Mother and Child hospital.
11)The roads behind Oke Ijebu mega school.
Ah!, check out this area. It was absolutely
impassable before Iroko. But bridges, great
retention walls,,Channelization of the waterways
and quality asphalt has eliminated all
handicaps.
12) Idi-agba tuntun road,repaired by Mimiko.
(13) The roads behind NEPA shopping mall
leading to Arakale and bursting out at Lao area.
14) Nine newly asphalted roads at Alagbaka
Governor's office area to Governor's house area.
15) The road by the New Royal birds Hotel
Alagbaka (one and half kilometers completed)
16) the road from St Michael 2ndry School to
sawmill Ijoka 2ru power line down to car wash at
Oshinle was asphalted by Mimiko's govt.
17)The Road beside D&G petrol station(4merly
Adabol petrol station) b4 Otegbeye junction was
also rehabilitated with quality asphalt,
18)The St Luke rd from Investment down to
Victory Nur&Pry Schl then to Ijoka and stop after
Power line junction.
19) The road in front of Natnal Open University
at Oba Afunbiowo Estate along Idanre, Oke-Aro
Akure was tarred.
20) Seventeen streets at Lafe - Fanibi to Aule
road Akure.
21: Rehabilitation of additional 50 roads within
Akure metropolis in January February 2015.
(Still so much more that I can't remember now.)
And talking about asphalt works again,I can
assure you that the asphalt in places like the
mechanic village,M&C hospital, neighborhood
markets,Automart,Vaccine storage centre/pry
health care board,The High courts, NEPA
shopping mall and so on will give you more than
ten of such roads commissioned by some other
governors.
ALSO,if you can count the number of structures
and infrastructures that the great Iroko has
completed within five years in Akure alone,I
doubt if any other governor can match his pace.
Take a cursory look at the following and tell me
what his predecessors (except Ajasin) did in
Akure:
1: Education Quality Assurance Building
2. Civil Service Commission building
3.Public Service Trainning Institute,Ilara Mokin
4: Orange Fm building

Why this campaign when he is not asking reelection?

I think Mimiko is one of the best (if no the best) Governors in the history of Ondo state.

The best governor in what way? This is a man that didn't pay salary for seven whole months. Mimiko is a failure.

The salary was a flaw, but he did well in development and infrastructure.

The man did well in development across all local govt areas. His flaw was the salary issue.
