ORE FLY-OVER BRIDGE: OPENING UP THE STATE FOR MORE ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

By TCC NEWS

While the news filtered through the streets of Ondo state and environs with amazing pictures of the Ore Flyover bridge finding its way across the social-media space, many sons and daughters of the state found more than enough reasons to thank the Ondo State government for staying true to its promise of seeing to the completion of the project.

This project has given the people of Ondo state another infrastructural masterpiece which is not just noted for its aesthetic value but also socio-economic importance as well as providing a safe haven for motorist and commuters plying that road. Over the last 3 decades, the deplorable state of the road had led to the death of many, while it has also affected the economic growth of the area. However the decision of the Akeredolu led administration to erect a flyover in the area has proven to change the narrative as the area beam with a new look, one that is bound to usher in growth and development to Ore and its environs in diverse areas.

However it’s more worthy to note and celebrate the vision and commitment of the Arakunrin Akeredolu led administration to ensuring that they put the interest of the people at heart in the state. It will be recalled that the Ore flyover bridge was a federal government road, however as a result of the total commitment of the Arakunrin Akeredolu led administration, it intervened and took over the project as a reduced cost compared to what the Federal government had earlier budgeted for the project. Initially the federal government had budgeted a sum of 8 Billion naira for the project, however the Akeredolu led administration saw to the completion of the project at the estimated cost of 5 Billion naira.

Adding to this, the state government also ensured that the people whose houses and properties were affected as a result of the construction of the flyover were compensated. About 120 people whose land and properties paved way for the road project were presented cheques as compensation from the state Government.
Accolades must be given to the state government as it has shown over time its readiness to change the outlook of the state from a civil servant state to an economic hub by opening up its areas for more economic activities.

Ore will need more than a flyover to open it up for serious economic activities.

Folks sha want to "open up" Ondo state by hook or by crook.

Initially the federal government had budgeted a sum of 8 Billion naira for the project, however the Akeredolu led administration saw to the completion of the project at the estimated cost of 5 Billion naira.

This is pitiful, laughable and deeply amusing.
