The three individuals who collected keys into their new houses worth N10 million include; Mr. Adebisi Dauda (Yinma Aba Village); Mrs. Comfort Odebode (Gbengbeleku Village) and Akinwale Oyetade (Gbengbeleku Village) all in the suburb of Ile-Ife.

According to the governor, 500 kilometres of rural roads had been penciled down for construction out of which 225 kilometres has now been completed.

“It is our commitment to open up our rural areas and make life easy and comfortable for our farmers.

“This is why we are constructing the roads in other to make all our farms accessible.

“Besides, this roads will also make it easy for the farmers to transport their farm produce from farms to the market. This will boost commercial activities while alleviating the suffering of farmers as well.

“Those we gave compensation to are people whose property and farms were affected. We promised them that they will not suffer any hardship owing to the development in their domain.

“We have, by this payment of compensation, fulfilled our promise to them,” Aregbesola said.
