The Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu, is leaving none in doubt of the fact that he’s in government for serious business. The governor has delivered no fewer than 45 kilometer of roads in the last 18 months across the three senatorial districts of the State. In his less than 3years of governorship, Akeredolu has already littered the the face of the state with beautiful projects.

From the south through the central to the northern senatorial districts of the sunshine state, the governor works wonders.

The government of Ondo State under Akeredolu has done a number of many other road projects that are still undergoing construction. In Ondo North Senatorial District, the commissioner listed projects completed to include the 2.5km Jubilee Ugbe road; 1.5km Supare (Oke Afaa) road and 27.5km Iwaro road.

This is apart from the reconstruction of the collapsed three major culverts in Ikare-Akoko. Others are 2.5km Hewlet, Ogbo Omo, Igbadara and Ayegunle road in Ifon. Also completed are the 2.5km internal roads in GRA, Owo; the dualization of adjoining roads in Owo is almost completed. On the planned dualization of 4.3km Ikare township road, 7.1km road in Owo and the 7.8km Akure-Ijoka-A Divison road, the Special Adviser said valuation of the properties across the roads had reached advanced stage.

These include Iyere – ipele – idoani road; access road in Powderize egg factory at Emure; parking lot at Akure airport; construction of Ondo Boys High school internal road network; dualisation of CBN road, akure; construction of Subeb Sijuade road, akure; repair of approach slabs of Alape & Aboto bridge in ilaje.

It has also awarded Idanre to ijoka is 16km & dualisation of A Division to ijoka is 8.14km.

The Oke -Alabojuto /Ikare dualisation road project is a wonderment for which the northern constituents of the state has continued to hail the governor. Yet, the works continue unabated across the state.

Projects to include the 1.5km Abusoro road in Akure; 2.0km Iwalewa-Alafiatayo-Hospital-Oshinle road in Akure.

Fiwasaye-Airport street light project is also ongoing. Sabomi-Ajagba road was 95% completed, while work is ongoing on Police Station road in Ore. Work has also reached 97% completion on Okitipupa-Ayeka-Irele road.

If Akeredolu continues this way, many among the people will benefit from the people – oriented projects for which he has now become very popular with the people of the state.

In recognition of the infrastructural works he’s doing in the state which has attracted huge luster and acclaim, we hail and confer the award of the Doyen of Democracy on him.
