Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi last week rendered account of his stewardship on the floor of the House of Assembly in Ibadan, the state capital.

He said his administration is mindful of the state of infrastructure, which is a key index in measuring a state’s development in the modern world.

Ajimobi said: “We have rehabilitated over 250 roads across the state. Seven bridges have also been rehabilitated to ensure free flow of traffic. The 110-kilometre Ibadan Circular Road is nearing completion. The flyover at Mokola Roundabout has been completed.

“Ibadan is wearing a new look and mountains of rubbish no longer litter major roads. Two things are obvious in this administration – a cleaner environment and the security of life and property.


“Go to Awolowo Junction; before now, any time there was a heavy downpour, flood used to sweep people away. So many lives were lost to flood in the area. That has become history with the construction of a restoration bridge there. We have also bought 36 tractors to aid farming and employed over 20,000 youths under the Youth Empowerment Scheme (YES-O).

Ajimobi thanked the lawmakers and the people for their support and pledged to continue to improve the welfare of residents.

The House passed a vote of confidence in the governor.

Mr. Kehinde Subair (Ibadan Southwest) moved the motion and it was seconded by Mr. Adigun Hammed (Akinyele II). The motion was adopted by the whole House.

The Speaker, Mrs. Monsurat Sunmonu, described the governor as a man of integrity, who has a passion for the welfare of the masses.

She said the House will continue to provide legal framework for progressive policies and programmes.

The lawmakers hailed the government for restoring Oyo’s pace-setter status.

Mr. Fatai Salam scored the administration high in security, infrastructural development and the provision of social amenities.

The Deputy Speaker, David Olaniyan, said the administration’s “integrity, sincerity and accountability” have fast tracked development in the last two years.

The Minority Leader, Rafiu Adekunle and Mr. Ibrahim Bolomope urged the governor to continue to pay salary promptly.
