Roads make a vital contribution to the economic development of every population. Without good road networks, access to employment, health, social services and education remain limited. Properly laid-out roads are a primary sign of an organized society and bring about numerous social benefits.


The Ondo State Government, has in recent times, witnessed an exponential development, heralded by the ongoing road construction projects across the three senatorial districts of the State.


These road construction projects are numbering 43 different locations, some of which include:


Restoration of select roads in Ifon; construction of the 2.5km GRA dual-carriage road, 0.5 km of Ikare Phase 1 road.
Construction of some roads in Idanre measuring 2.76km.
Construction of the roads around Iwalewa (Iwalewa-Hospital, Iwalewa-Oshinle, iwalewa-Alafiatayo) and Abusoro road, Ijoka Phase 1.
Repairing and building of 5,412km stretch of road around Oke Ogba community and the construction of 6.02km of the Alagbaka SIB-Appeal court road.


Other notable road construction projects are the 5.569km Gaga Community road and the 8.135km dual carriage road around A Division-Oluwatuyi-Ijoka. Ondo town is included in the project, as there are current construction and repair projects such as the 2.5km Sabomi-Ajagba road and 10km Okitipupa-Igbokoda bypass road Phase 1.


A noteworthy approach taken by the Government to ensure continuity and phase out the tradition of abandoning projects is to make payment to the contractor upon milestone achieved. This agreement ensures the contractors work assiduously to deliver the project on time.


The move by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu to establish substantial development through these valuable projects are unparalleled by any other administration. This act has brought manifold benefits to the people of Ondo State.


Previously impervious and unrecognized communities now have access to good road networks. As a result, Institutions have established presence in such locations; engendering unprecedented economic activities even in the remotest parts of the State. The roads construction projects have created job opportunities, improving the standard of living in Ondo State.
