The Ondo State governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, has said that the state government had concluded plans on the ground breaking of a one square-kilometre city project, tagged “Ore Sunshine City,” aimed at turning Ore into the commercial nerve centre of the country.

Mimiko, who disclosed this while meeting with a group of foreign businessmen in Akure, on Saturday, added that in addition to this, a trailer park that would accommodate 1,000 articulated lorries and trucks and luxurious hotels for travellers would be put in place in the planned Ore Sunshine City.

Apart from this, the governor also told his guests that deliberate efforts had been put in place by his administration to make the major cities in the state more beautiful and habitable.

He stressed that findings had shown that there was a nexus between well planned cities and the economy. Mimiko said: “In Akure, which is the capital city of this state, our economy resides here; thus, we are resolved to make Akure work; our street traders must be moved, we must put in place green medians on our major roads in order to make them pleasing to the eyes.

“It is a well-known fact that the cities are synonymous with the economy apart from the aesthetics; and this is one of the reasons why our cities must work and that is the reason why we created the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development to arrest the spate at which a lot of investable funds which ought to come to Ondo State are being taken elsewhere in spite of our naturally endowed resources.”

The governor noted that since investors tend to take their funds to well planned cities, there was the urgent need to arrest the current ugly trends in cities of the state.
