OYO STATE ROADMAP FOR<br />
ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT
Oyo State - The Pacesetter<br />
11
Preamble<br />
ne of my proudest moments - is when<br />
Owe commissioned the 65 km Moniya-<br />
Iseyin road in 2021, and His<br />
Excellency brought his colleague, The<br />
Governor of Benue State Samuel Ortom to<br />
come and commission the project for us, I was<br />
happy because I was part of the history that<br />
completed the project.<br />
What I like about working with Governor Seyi<br />
Makinde is - He is a believer in Data, and so<br />
for me being a statistician, who has been<br />
working with data my entire life, over 36 years<br />
to be precise. This is a great thing.<br />
Governor Seyi Makinde is somebody who<br />
believes you must work with data to have<br />
what I call evidence based decision<br />
making. You cannot miss the mark because<br />
with reliable data, the error margin reduces to<br />
between 0-5%.<br />
So I like his style and really enjoy working with<br />
him, because he believes science must speak<br />
from the data, and data must inform the<br />
logic to drive implementation.<br />
His Excellency Engr. Seyi Makinde, FNSE DSc. is<br />
an astute professional Engineer who realizes that<br />
without data you cannot do anything tangibly or<br />
sustainably.<br />

THE COMPENDIUM OF PROJECTS<br />
ALONG THE ROADMAP FOR ACCELERATED<br />
DEVELOPMENT OF OYO STATE.<br />
2019-2023<br />
VOL. 1 - DOMICILED WITH THE<br />
MINISTRY OF PUBLIC WORKS<br />
AND TRANSPORT<br />
Our Visionary Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde, FNSE, DSc.<br />
th<br />
resumed ofce May 29 , 2019, with the vision and Roadmap<br />
to Accelerated Development of Oyo state 2019 -2023, that<br />
had been envisioned and eruditely communicated while on the<br />
campaign trail, exacerbated by the glaring decay<br />
and prevailing physical infrastructure deficit statewide. Some<br />
parts of the state, Farmlands, Markets and Schools were not easily<br />
accessible, and many round-trips or return journeys within the<br />
state could not be undertaken in one day.<br />
A study of project delivery between 2011 - 2018 revealed; that over<br />
38% of the projects undertaken were either incomplete, inconclusive,<br />
ongoing, or not sighted, while another 23% already showed<br />
visible signs of defect. Pointing to over N 75 billion in unrealized<br />
value (As shown in Figure 1).<br />

FIGURE 1: PROJECT DELIVERY COST<br />
PERFORMANCE JUNE 2011 – MAY 2019<br />
Infrastructure Project Delivery performance within Public<br />
Service had historically been marred by; escalating costs,<br />
delayed funding, cash ow constraints, high interest rates,<br />
deterioration of professionalism & discipline quality. By inception<br />
of the administration in 2019, it became abundantly clear and<br />
certain that there is no longer room for Public Service<br />
business-as-usual in Oyo State.<br />
The rst 44 months of exceptional visionary leadership of His<br />
Excellency, Engr (Dr). Seyi Makinde, FNSE as governor of Oyo<br />
the Pacesetter State, has been characterized by the following:<br />
I. Exemplary performance along the Roadmap to<br />
Accelerated Development of Oyo state (2019 -2023) to<br />
address the glaring infrastructure & development decit<br />
state wide, His Excellency hit the ground running with the<br />
mission to transform Oyo State from a sleepy ineffective<br />
state to a prosperous and economically vibrant state<br />
through deliberate and articulate focus on key areas of<br />
the roadmap such as; Education, Health & Welfare,<br />
Agriculture & Food Security and Security, which in turn<br />
spurs on Youth Empowerment & Ease of Doing Business<br />
benefits , all underpinned by deliberate<br />
Infrastructure Development to drive the Economic<br />
Expansion vision and subsequently Domestic Resource<br />
Growth for economic vibrancy across the entire state.<br />
II. Success growing - Internally Generated Revenue (IGR),<br />
without increasing taxes, improved access to<br />
developmental funds through International<br />
Partnership and Grants, and by implementing<br />
breakthrough ideas addressing historic perennial project<br />
delivery challenges with improved sources of project<br />
funding like APFA – Alternative Project Funding<br />
Approach and changes in contractor mobilization<br />
to hedge noitaniand cost escalation pressures,<br />
allowing the Government to Do More with Less and<br />
within a good time to make meaningful improvements<br />
to the livelihood of the citizens and dwellers of the<br />
state.<br />
III. Success inculcating infrastructure maintenance into the<br />
project delivery contracts, with extended warranty such as<br />
the 65 km Moniya - Iseyin Road delivered in 2021 with<br />
twenty (20)-year maintenance included as model for<br />
other projects.<br />
14
The Public Works Capital Budget performance to date in Oyo State shows a total spend of about N 125.51 billion January 2019 - December<br />
2022 and another N 45 billion appropriated for 2023 capital projects impacting infrastructure development domiciled in the Ministry<br />
of Public works & Transport across the state surpassing and doubling the total comparative spend of N 61.96 billion by the previous<br />
administration in 8 years (2011 – 2018), as illustrated in Table A following, also illustrated in figure 2<br />
Table A: 12 - YEAR PUBLIC WORKS CAPITAL<br />
BUDGET PERFORMANCE (2011 – 2022)<br />
FIGURE 2: COST PERFORMANCE BUDGET VS ACTUAL<br />
(NGN bln)<br />
Total Capital Project spend across the South-West sub region of Nigeria ranges from 40% to 66% of State budget appropriations in 2022, Oyo State total Capital<br />
Expenditure appropriation is N156 billion, the third 3rd (3 ) largest corresponding to about 53% of total budget.<br />
15
All this put together and happening all across the entire state at this juncture in time, Oyo State is witnessing a Nexus of infrastructure<br />
revolution with re-awakened emphasis on more effective project delivery, within cost and in time to meet the yearnings of the citizenry, and at<br />
intended quality with sustainability embeded.<br />
We have also inculcated the capability and capacity to do - more - with - less as can be seen in Figure 4 below, which shows a graphical<br />
comparison between terminated contracts of stalled projects and the replacement contracts.<br />
Figure 4: OVERVIEW OF TERMINATED & RE-AWADED CONTRACTS (2019 – 2022)<br />
16<br />
We are also integrating Projects better, like Lite-up Oyo with road projects to bring meaningful development not just to the urban city capital of<br />
Ibadan, but also to the rural hometowns, further supporting the economy expansion by providing access to goods, services, free passage for<br />
people to stimulate the fundamentals for Night Economy.

Oyo State projects can also be seen to<br />
benchmark within the prevailing class of<br />
projects across the south - west sub-region<br />
under the general prevailing security and<br />
market conditions in the nation. Figure 5<br />
below, shows Oyo State overall projects in<br />
a benchmark comprising of projects from<br />
other adjoining states and relevant Federal<br />
Government projects.<br />

To deliver on His Excellency's promises and rmly imbibe the new thinking for<br />
the state.<br />
The Ministry is continuously tasked to rise above the prevalent challenges of poor<br />
historic performance trends in Infrastructure Project Delivery, escalating costs, delayed<br />
funding, cash ow constraints, high interest rates, deterioration of professionalism &<br />
discipline quality by demonstrably improving in the following areas;<br />
a. Deepening Professionalism: New skills like benchmarking, New tools, training<br />
workshops, better reporting, appropriate tasking and placement<br />
b. Quality control / Assurance: Improved use of expertise and collaboration with<br />
outside experts like IEAG – Independent Expert Advisory Group, Multi-<br />
Disciplinary industry committees comprising of professional bodies and industry<br />
leaders.<br />
c. Value Engineering: Cost Reduction, Concept/Design challenges, alternative<br />
designs, Integration with other MDAs & projects including FGN projects.<br />
d. Innovative ways of improving overall infrastructure Availability, Reliability<br />
& Function<br />
e. Improved Response, Visibility, Presence & Timely Feedback: The creation of<br />
an Infrastructure Reporting tool, which gives pinpoint accuracy to identify<br />
defective infrastructure or hazard, create remediation tasks that can be assigned<br />
to responsible parties for execution, while providing status update and<br />
feedback to the reporter.<br />

In summary, the state is gradually experiencing an<br />
infrastructure revolution correcting the glaring deficit,<br />
improving access, and laying the foundation for accelerated<br />
development across the entire state.<br />
With the current portfolio of about 500 kms of highways<br />
in 31 Infrastructure Development Projects either completed<br />
or underway focused at linking the 5 geopolitical zones and<br />
food basket of the state and another 163.75 – 273.75 kms<br />
in about 25 - 35 projects planned from 2023 targeting key<br />
areas contributing to the desired expanded economy.<br />
The Ministry of Public Works & Transport will continue to<br />
further deepen professionalism, competence and capability<br />
to ensure quality control and assurance while working<br />
together in concert with all Internal & External stakeholders<br />
to judiciously use existing and new resources, meet<br />
expectation of increased spending, improved budget<br />
performance and effective overall project delivery to ensure<br />
delivery on the promises and the vision of Your Excellency<br />
Governor of the Pacesetter state Engr. Oluseyi Makinde<br />

THE UNPRECEDENTED<br />
INFRASTRUCTURAL<br />
REVOLUTION<br />
’m delighted to introduce to you a<br />
Icompendium of the undeniable<br />
footprints of His Excellency Engr. Oluseyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde’ D.Sc., FNSE along the<br />
roadmap for the accelerated Development<br />
Of Oyo State 2019 - 2023 which he had<br />
articulated in the face of glaring<br />
infrastructure decit on the campaign trail<br />
..You will recall that when His Excellency<br />
took over the mantle of leadership in Oyo<br />
state may 2019, not many people believed<br />
that he could deliver on his campaign<br />
promises because he was not a known<br />
political big-wig neither did they understand<br />
his track record nor passion for delivery<br />
from his antecedents, track record and<br />
dynamic competencies.<br />
Four years down the line, His ably and<br />
eruditely led administration has exceeded<br />
expectations re-engineering a modern Oyo<br />
with sterling performance in all areas and<br />
facets of governance in our dear Pacesetter<br />
state.<br />
23
By “Doing What We Say”, “Doing More With Less” and<br />
“Showing What We Have Done” for the dividends of democracy<br />
to reach all and sundry - We are all living witnesses to the<br />
unfolding Infrastructure revolution, touching livelihoods of the<br />
citizens, professionals commuters and dwellers of Oyo state as<br />
well as travelers passing through.<br />
This compendium, catalogs world class Infrastructure<br />
Development projects domiciled with the ministry of Public<br />
Works & Transport 2019-2023 that underpin Agriculture &<br />
Food Security, Security, Education, Health, Ease of Doing<br />
Business, Youth Empowerment, Domestic Resource Growth and<br />
Social Justice & Equity, which then allows us to assert<br />
unequivocally that GSM effect can be seen and felt by all. I am<br />
persuaded this unique unfolding, a pragmatic revolution has<br />
just begun with Omititun 1.0.<br />
Join us with boots on ground, hands on deck and passion<br />
invigorated to continue to build a physically functional,<br />
economically vibrant, Aesthetically pleasing, and socially<br />
harmonious Oyo State. The pace Setter.<br />

His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE<br />
the Executive Governor of Oyo State<br />
at the Commissioning of the Construction<br />
of the 65m General Gas Flyover and the<br />
Dualisation of the 7.2 Km<br />
Idi Ape-Basorun-Akobo-Odogbo<br />
Barracks Road, Ibadan<br />
on Thursday, September 15, 2022.<br />
But when it is time to do what is right for the progress of our<br />
people, we should be able to come together and get it done.<br />
We welcome you to Oyo State. We know you are one of us. We<br />
can rightly call you an Ibadan boy since you were born here and<br />
grew up here. So, welcome home.<br />
When we came into government, we promised you, the good<br />
people of Oyo State that every road project we embark on<br />
would target our economy.<br />
Our slogan has always been<br />
‘where road goes,<br />
development follows’.<br />
Let me start by appreciating my brother,<br />
the Executive Governor of Ekiti State, His<br />
Excellency, Dr Kayode Fayemi, for joining<br />
us today as we commission the 65m General<br />
Gas Flyover and the dualisation of the 7.2 Km<br />
Idi Ape-Basorun-Akobo-Odogbo Barracks<br />
Road.<br />
Your presence here communicates a message<br />
to those who think that politics is a do-or-die<br />
affair and who think that collaboration across<br />
party lines for development is not possible.<br />
Yes, our great party, the Peoples Democratic<br />
Party and the All Progressives Congress, have<br />
different philosophies.<br />
46
The construction of the 65m<br />
General Gas Flyover and the<br />
dualisation of the 7.2 km Idi Ape-<br />
Basorun-Akobo-Odogbo Barracks<br />
Road, has brought a new level of<br />
development to, Ibadan North,<br />
Ibadan North East and Lagelu<br />
Local Government Areas.<br />
If you have any doubts that<br />
road construction directly<br />
contributes to economic<br />
development, then you can use<br />
the Idi Ape-Basorun Akobo-<br />
Odogbo Barracks Road as a<br />
case study.<br />
People who have lived here for<br />
four years and above will tell you<br />
the level of economic activity that<br />
has been extended to this zone in<br />
the past year. They will be able<br />
to do a comparative analysis, or<br />
as we say in local parlance, a<br />
“before and after”.<br />
47
So, I can say with all condence: Another promise kept!<br />
Some people will say there are other roads that need<br />
repairs; that some roads in Ibadan need rehabilitation.<br />
Yes, we are aware of the state of roads, not just in<br />
Ibadan but the whole of Oyo State. And as we have<br />
promised, governance will continue to the last day<br />
of the life of this administration. So, we are already<br />
doing something about inner city roads.<br />
Earlier in the week, we gave the Oyo State Road<br />
Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA) 750 Million Naira<br />
for the rehabilitation of roads. The plan is to ensure<br />
that all LGAs get some of their roads xed.<br />
And let me quickly address again an issue that<br />
keeps coming up in conversation. There is this idea<br />
that the State Government has hijacked Local<br />
Government functions. Let me repeat that we have<br />
not in any way hijacked the functions of any local<br />
government. We are only putting in the work needed<br />
to assist them in their functions. We all know the<br />
economic realities in our country right now. This has<br />
often led to people having to make tough decisions.<br />
Sometimes, looking at the money in your pocket, you<br />
may decide, “meat is not my problem this night. Let<br />
me buy bread.” It is this same decision that<br />
government at all levels need to make.<br />
For example, should we pay salaries or use the<br />
money to build roads? Because the money is simply<br />
not enough to do both.<br />
And so, here in Oyo State, we decided to make that<br />
decision easier for the LGAs. We tell them, go ahead<br />
and pay salaries – which stimulate the economy – we<br />
will assist you in doing other things that you should be<br />
doing.<br />
Let me once again thank my brother, Governor Kayode<br />
Fayemi, for doing us the honour of being with us for the<br />
commissioning of the General Gas Flyover and the Idi<br />
Ape-Basorun-Akobo Odogbo Barracks Road.<br />
We appreciate you. I will now yield the podium to him,<br />
after which we shall proceed to commission the General<br />
Gas Flyover and the Idi Ape-Basorun-Akobo-Odogbo<br />
Barracks Road to the glory of God and for the benet<br />
of the good people of Oyo State.<br />
Thank you, and God bless you.<br />

IDIAPE - BASORUN -<br />
AKOBO ROAD OF OLD<br />
Passing through the 7.25km Idi-Ape/<br />
Basorun/Akobo Road in the past was often<br />
characterized by pains and agony, due to<br />
the bad state of the road.<br />
Residents and motorists along the route<br />
often had hectic reaching their destinations<br />
result of its deplorable condition. The<br />
situation got to a level where residents of<br />
the area abandoned their private cars for<br />
commercial vehicles and motorcycles, while<br />
others relocated outside the area due to<br />
the hardship on the road.<br />
Heavy-duty vehicles plying the road were<br />
often stuck in different spots, thereby<br />
making passage of other vehicles difcult,<br />
thus creates hold-ups on the route.<br />
The road is one major road within the<br />
Ibadan metropolis that serves as a link to<br />
three local government councils in the<br />
State. It is a major link that connects<br />
Ibadan Northeast Local Government in<br />
Basorun to Lagelu and Akinyele Local<br />
Government via Akobo and Olorunda<br />

Residents in the area described their<br />
experiences on the road as terrible and<br />
lamented the damage caused by the road on<br />
their vehicles.<br />
Some commercial drivers decried that the<br />
situation had seriously affected their income,<br />
and noted that daily trips along the route had<br />
drastically reduced.<br />
The contract for the rehabilitation of the road<br />
which was awarded in May 2017 and was<br />
supposed to be completed within 18months.<br />
However, the rehabilitation of the road was<br />
taking longer than necessary, which resulted in<br />
the termination of the contract by Governor<br />
Seyi Makinde.<br />
Residents called on Governor Seyi Makinde to<br />
prevail in the situation and re-award on the<br />
road contract to ease the hardships being<br />
experienced on the road. Between the city<br />
nad ‘less’ city.<br />
The road was re-awarded by Governor Seyi<br />
Makinde through the Alternative Project<br />
Funding Approach (APFA), which allows the<br />
State to pay over time after the contractor<br />
must have nanced the project.<br />
This again is one, among many others of the<br />
GSM infrastructure revolution in Ibadan and<br />
Oyo State at large.<br />

BRIEF TECHNICAL DETAILS OF<br />
THE DUALIZATION OF (7.25km)<br />
IDI-APE - BASORUN - AKOBO -<br />
ODOGBO BARRACKS<br />
JUNCTION PROJECT<br />
IDI APE – BASORUN – AKOBO – ODOGBO BARRACK<br />
JUNCTION ROAD is a 7.25 km comprising of a yover<br />
over-pass across Lagos - Ibadan – Oyo Expressway<br />
linking the city with less city. It was originally awarded<br />
to ENL on 19th May 2017 but stalled at 35.76%<br />
progress till it was terminated for non performance by<br />
May 2020. For expediency, the project was split into 2<br />
work-scopes, and re-awarded separately.<br />
THE ROAD<br />
The contract for the dualization of Basorun –Akobo –<br />
Odogbo Barracks Junction was awarded on 12<br />
November, 2020. The road is within Ibadan metropolis,<br />
precisely within Lagelu Local Government Area. It serves<br />
as a link to many major roads such as Ibadan – Lagos<br />
Expressway, Agodi/Bus top – Idi Ape –<br />
Iwo Road Interchange, Iwo Road, Olorunda Community<br />
and 2nd mechanized division of Nigerian<br />
Army, Odogbo barrack, Ibadan.<br />
51
The entire project area is fully developed with no vegetation on both sides of the road. Important<br />
features along the corridor of the road are petrol lling stations, schools, BCOS, shopping complexes,<br />
residential, buildings, Mosques, Churches, event centres, eateries, police station etc. The trafc volume<br />
on the road before its dualization was huge and always led to trafc log jams at the junctions on the<br />
road way.<br />
The road commences at Idi Ape, passes through Basorun, Akobo Ojurin and terminates at Odogbo<br />
Barrack Junction. The length of the road is 7.252km.<br />
There is a 1.2m wide median. Thus, the total width of the road way from drain to drain is 23.7m.<br />
The general scope of the works are:<br />
i. Clearing of site on either side of the carriageway of the carriageway of all shrubs, trees, wall,<br />
fences e.t.c,<br />
ii. Scarication of existing asphaltic concrete surfacing<br />
iii. Relocation of existing services including NITEL, PHCN and Water Corporation of Oyo State.<br />
iv. Making up of the design formation level using approved lateritic materials.<br />
v. Construction of pavement structure with the following<br />
FEATURES:<br />
a) 200mm thick lateritic sub base,<br />
b) 200mm thick crushed stone base,<br />
c) 50mm thick binder course of asphaltic concrete,<br />
d) 40mm thick wearing course of asphaltic concrete,<br />
e) Placing of 100mm thick concrete on medians and walkways,<br />
f) Construction of Trapezoidal Reinforced concrete lined drain,<br />
g) Construction of reinforced concrete retaining wall,<br />
h) Construction of box culverts or various sizes,<br />
i) Laying of kerbs to walkways and medians,<br />
j) Pavement markings and provision of road signs,<br />
k) Removal and carting away of suitable materials from roadway,<br />
l) Provision of 4 no-250mm diameter service ducts at junctions<br />
and designated points.<br />

Flag Off, Speech of His Excellency<br />
Governor Seyi Makinde<br />
All the people that have come to speak, all spoke English,<br />
even your LGA chairman spoke in English, the<br />
Commissioner spoke English, SA infrastructure also spoke in<br />
English. Is that the way it should be? Good!<br />
Eka abo so ri eto wa yii oo.…<br />
Well, let me greet the chairman of Peculiar Ultimate Concern, I<br />
greet you oo. What we came to do here today Is to ag-off the<br />
y-over bridge that will connect Idi ape, Akobo Oju irin all the<br />
way to Odogbo barracks. I don't know why they have not invited<br />
the Lagelu people, because, Oh, Lagalu is here. Akinyele Is also<br />
here, which means you arranged the gathering by federal<br />
constituencies.<br />
Well, this bridge is important to our economy - because if you<br />
come to this place in the morning, those who are going to work,<br />
those going to gate, those going to Idi-ape, you did see that the<br />
queue is much. As I said earlier before, I said most of the<br />
infrastructural projects that we will do, that government wants<br />
to do, will be project that will improve the economy of Oyo<br />
State, when we nish this bridge. Those who want to go to Agodi<br />
Gate to buy things, or those that want to go to Dugbe, will it be<br />
easier for them or not? (Crowd responded).<br />
I know the struggles of those people living on the other side of this<br />
bridge go through. When we came in, as a matter of fact, at this<br />
time in 2019, the contractor noticeably started to work in earnest<br />
including overnight, the contractor that had been given the work<br />
since last year, started to lay asphalt, you had elected me then, as<br />
Governor elect. So around 2:00 AM one day, I stopped by to ask,<br />
-so this work you are all of a sudden doing so seriously, is it so<br />
important that you are doing it overnight, or you want to nish<br />
before we enter government?<br />
What they were trying to do was show work done to reduce the<br />
money they have embezzled. When we looked at their records<br />
and I am saying this with all sense of responsibility. Ministry of<br />
Works brought a milestone certicate, for work done, to enable<br />
payment to contractor. I questioned that is this the road works that<br />
I usually pass by every night without noticing any work being<br />
done, that you have brought certicates for? So I asked how much<br />
we are owing them. They said around 700 million, I then told them<br />
that they should get all the documents from inception to date<br />
detailing all the monies that we (the Government) have paid to<br />
date, since we have only just gotten to ofce, to tally all the money<br />
that the government has paid, with the corresponding percentage<br />
of work they have done. I told them to go and bring it. By the<br />
second day, they said, that it is the contractor that was owing us<br />
400 million. we are still going to collect the 400 million from them,<br />
we've not collected it but we will collect it. (crowd cheered)<br />
So, the original contract was awarded in 2017, from Idi Ape to<br />
Akobo Oju irin not reaching Odogbo Barracks Junction, where<br />
they are meant to do the road to. The contractor was just playing<br />
with the project. But let us even forget the road we said they should<br />
do for a brief moment. The contract cost of the bridge component<br />
of the work, was 1.464 billion (one billion four hundred and sixtyfour<br />
million) Naira, of which 368 million naira had been paid to
contractor before we stopped the work. what we have seen for the<br />
worth 368 million are these reinforcements and concrete over there.<br />
Well they did some piling, because we saw they had a piling rig in this<br />
place that was dying and waking up, once you may see it working and<br />
then for the next two weeks no work, all you will see is mechanics will be<br />
losing and xing it. Well, now that 1. 64 billion is Money Of the Day<br />
2017.<br />
Have things not gone up in price or not since then?<br />
It has gone up (crowd responded). Good.<br />
We in 2021, have awarded the contract again, take a listen, we<br />
awarded it for One billion and Fifty-Eight million only, million. Following<br />
the award, the government will not pay a dime until they have done up to<br />
20% milestone, we will now start to pay every month for a year before<br />
we pay it up.<br />
From the money of the day 2017 we saved 40 million naira for Oyo<br />
state Government, since 2017, now four years – all they have done is<br />
what you are seeing here. But on my honor, as I stand in front of you<br />
today that with reduce amount of 2021 that we awarded, we will go<br />
across this bridge in the next six months.<br />
They have wondered that are we using charms or local magic. You<br />
remember the song we were singing during our campaign - The God<br />
who has the burden – will help us carry it. (Crowd carries on with the<br />
song).<br />
What we have been doing is that we are sitting down to analyze what<br />
we need to do for the people of Oyo State who have tasked us with<br />
governance that their livelihoods can be improved. So we want to beg<br />
you not to be afraid, - Are you afraid? (Crowd responded no!)<br />
Yes, we give them credit for starting the project, but it is not only who<br />
started, but who nishes.<br />
We are all children of salvation.<br />
So this project will be completed in six months and all of us are the<br />
supervisors on the project, should you be passing-by and notice<br />
anything that you think requires attention, let us know so that we can<br />
instruct the contractor accordingly.<br />
It is not only the yover bridge that we will be here, but we will also<br />
put Street lights. We have started the lights from Idi Ape. Also Mr<br />
contractor awarded this yover bridge, If you look at the original<br />
bridge that is behind us you will see that they wrote S on it, Do you<br />
know what the S stands for? Strabag, it stands for STRABAG.<br />
When I was growing up, my paternal father whenever we returned<br />
from school, and we had been asked to buy books, buy pencil, and<br />
submitted bill. My father's response was ok. I will give you the money<br />
when I return from work, He will then leave clothes for us to wash and<br />
iron before he returns. We would have gone out to play and<br />
forgotten about the chores, when our father returns and we to<br />
remind him of the money for books, money for books!! He will say –<br />
oh so you have seen STRABAG that will be working for you to come<br />
and demand for money for book from Abi!!,.... money for book<br />
indeed.<br />
Peculiar you also put P so that's when you are working in Oyo state…<br />
so that some fathers can later be telling their children, have you<br />
seen Peculiar abi! .....(crowd laughing).<br />
So on these note, I am happy to gaoff the yover bridge<br />
(crowd clapping.<br />
Thank you and God bless you.<br />

His Excellecy, OluSeyi Makinde<br />
at the Commissioning of<br />
JUNCTION IMPROVEMENTS<br />
AT CHALLENGE AND FELELE,<br />
IBADAN<br />
his junction improvement we have done here in<br />
TChallenge and Felele is just one of the several ways<br />
that our administration is keeping its promise to the<br />
people of Oyo State. Before now, we have had people<br />
endure trafc at this junction for 20- 30 minutes and even<br />
more because the road was narrower and then we had<br />
transporters taking up a whole lane.<br />
80
When we say time is money, we can then quantify what 30<br />
minutes of lateness to a project everyday can cost in real<br />
terms. So, with this improvement, we did not just have<br />
trafc lights installed to ease the trafc ow, but we have<br />
built a park for vehicles and motorbikes to transit and ease<br />
movement along this junction. Transporters and visitors can<br />
park their vehicles without hindering trafc. The road has<br />
been expanded creating even more space for vehicular<br />
movement. We also have three modern bus stops<br />
constructed for commuters.<br />
For some people living in some other parts of the<br />
country, they may think 30 minutes trafc is not so<br />
much, but here in Oyo State, our slogan is that we<br />
will only make things better, and what we cannot<br />
make better we will not make worse.<br />
And since our administration came into ofce, we have<br />
been doing our best to improve the lives of the people of<br />
Oyo State. The results are there for all to see. Data from<br />
the National Bureau of Statistics keeps showing that we are<br />
doing the right things here.<br />
81
So, while some people get angry when the<br />
National Bureau of Statistics release their<br />
gures and begin to look for ways to<br />
discredit them, here in Oyo State, we look<br />
forward to the release of data because it<br />
helps us know how well we are doing<br />
compared to other states around us and also<br />
reveals what we need to tweak for even<br />
better results.<br />
So far, we are happy with the results we are<br />
getting, and as I said in my State Broadcast<br />
earlier today, we can proudly say that we<br />
have made the lives of the people of Oyo<br />
State better than we met it 2 years ago. And<br />
come next year, we are sure that it will be<br />
even better than it was this year.<br />
So, on this note, I hereby declare the<br />
Junction Improvements at Challenge and<br />
Felele commissioned to the glory of God<br />
and for the benet of the good people of<br />
Oyo State.<br />

His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE<br />
the Executive Governor of Oyo State<br />
at the Commissioning of the 65km<br />
Moniya-Ijaiye-Iseyin Road<br />
on Thursday, June 3, 2021.<br />
We are here today to commission one of<br />
the projects which will play a major role<br />
in our engineering a modern Oyo State<br />
– an Oyo State where the prosperity of the people<br />
through economic integration serves as the fulcrum<br />
of our decisions.<br />
But rst, let me once more, appreciate my brother<br />
Governor, Samuel Ortom of Benue State for<br />
travelling down to be with us on this happy<br />
occasion. I want to use this opportunity to convey<br />
the deepest sympathies of myself, my family and the<br />
good people of Oyo State to you over the death of<br />
your Senior Special Assistant on Security,<br />
Christopher Dega. May God grant you and his<br />
friends and family the strength to bear the loss.<br />
96
I am sure I speak for myself, the people of Iseyin in particular<br />
and the good people of Oyo State when I say, we are<br />
delighted that you could be here today at the commissioning<br />
of the 65km Moniya-Ijaiye-Iseyin Road.<br />
This road remained in a deplorable state for several years. I<br />
remember that immediately after I became governor, I began<br />
to receive SOS messages regarding this road. I remember<br />
this particular request on social media from someone who<br />
said some parents have had to withdraw their children from<br />
school because of their inability to navigate this road to get<br />
to school.<br />
The state of this road also kept people away from going from<br />
Moniya to Iseyin. On a good day, they would spend three<br />
hours out here. You can then imagine what it would be like<br />
on a bad day when perhaps, a truck has broken down at one<br />
of the terrible spots.<br />
Although a contract for rehabilitation of this road was<br />
awarded by the previous administration, our initial inspection<br />
visits in 2019 revealed that the contractors had not even<br />
done 5% of the work here before abandoning it. We<br />
therefore had to revoke and re-award the contract.<br />
I always say that whatever decisions we make at any<br />
point in this administration will be based on science,<br />
data and logic. So, we factored in that we wanted this<br />
road to be top grade and last at least 10 years before<br />
any rehabilitations. For this reason, we decided to<br />
increase the stubbing course from about 150mm to about<br />
200mm, and we also changed the asphaltic wearing course<br />
from 40mm to 50mm.<br />
97
Looking at the initial design, we also realised that there was inadequate<br />
provision for drainage. So, we had to remedy that too.<br />
More importantly, the original contract was for what they called, “limited<br />
rehabilitation.” This is just a fancy way of saying they would patch the road.<br />
They would look at those areas that they felt were bad and do some<br />
rehabilitation works. For us, this was awed logic. We knew this would only<br />
amount to kicking the ball forward. In a year or so, we would be back to doing<br />
major rehabilitations.<br />
So, with all the available data, we decided that the more logical thing to do<br />
would be to increase the contract sum by about 2.9 billion Naira and deliver<br />
the quality of road that our people deserved.<br />
98
What we have done here is the total reconstruction of this 65km road<br />
at 9.9 billion Naira and this translates to 152 billion Naira per<br />
kiliometre.<br />
So again, based on science, data and logic we made the best<br />
decision overall.<br />
Of course, we understood the economic signicance of this road not<br />
only to individual residents but also to the growth of commerce and<br />
industry.<br />
99
The Moniya-Ijaiye-Iseyin Road is the link<br />
between Ibadan and Oke-Ogun, Oyo State's<br />
food basket. This road also hosts the once<br />
moribund Pacesetter Quarry and Asphalt Plant;<br />
not only have we resuscitated the plant, but it is<br />
already producing asphalt that we use in the<br />
construction of our roads here in Oyo State.<br />
As we drive down this road, I am sure you will<br />
see the economic impact it has had with the<br />
springing up of farm estates on both sides of the<br />
road.<br />
So, as we commission this road, let me again<br />
remind our people that we promised you<br />
economic development and prosperity through<br />
our Roadmap to Accelerated Development in<br />
Oyo State, 2019-2023.<br />
This is just another way that we are delivering on<br />
good governance. This is another promise kept.<br />
Thank you and God bless you.<br />

His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE<br />
the Executive Governor of Oyo State<br />
at the Commissioning of the 9.7km<br />
Saki Township Road Dualisation Project<br />
on Thursday, January 27, 2022<br />
et me start by thanking my dear brother,<br />
LHisExcellency, Governor Ahmadu Umaru<br />
Fintiri of Adamawa State, for honouring us<br />
with hispresence here today as we commission<br />
this very strategic road to the people of Saki, Oke-<br />
Ogun zone – the Saki Township Road. It has been<br />
delightful watching all the displays of culture here<br />
and the warm welcome you all have given us.<br />
When people see us celebrating a road<br />
construction, they sometimes say it’s a third<br />
world concept. They ask: What are they<br />
celebrating? Why are they celebrating? But,<br />
looking at the faces of everyone here today we<br />
can answer, we are celebrating accelerated<br />
development. Because everywhere a strategic<br />
road goes, development follows immediately.<br />
This principle did not start with us. History has<br />
it that the rst road for motorised vehicles in<br />
Nigeria was built here in Oyo State in 1906.<br />
That road linked Ibadan to Oyo Town. And the<br />
main purpose of that road was to move people and<br />
agricultural products from Oyo to Ibadan and then<br />
to the ports for export.<br />
This is why I am excited about the road<br />
linkages we are creating here in the Oke-Ogun<br />
zone. Oke-Ogun is our breadbasket and<br />
agricultural capital. So. linking Oke-Ogun up<br />
with the rest of the zones means that we can<br />
easily move our produce on for export, either<br />
by air through our Airport-Ajia Road being<br />
reconstructed or through the proposed inland<br />
dry port which is just off the Moniya-Iseyin<br />
Road, which we have also completed.<br />
We know from history that all of this work we<br />
have put in will bring about the needed<br />
development to our dear state. As we always<br />
say, for our state to take that leading role that we<br />
all dream of, we must take development beyond<br />
Ibadan.<br />
We cannot afford to continue in the trajectory<br />
where one part of the state is generating the<br />
revenue that all the other parts of the state benet<br />
from. This will only create another Nigerian<br />
situation in Oyo State. We all already know how<br />
some parts of the country feel about other parts<br />
because they believe it is their revenue that everyone<br />
is sharing.<br />
110
It is time to diversify. And a proper road linkage is the rst step in<br />
this diversication. When we say we are engineering a<br />
modern Oyo State, this is what we mean. We mean we are<br />
designing and building a modern Oyo State.<br />
The foundation of that design is a proper road network.<br />
This is why we will not ignore any viable road projects<br />
started by our predecessors.<br />
We know that it is possible to decide to play politics with<br />
development as some people did in the past. All of us here are<br />
witnesses to how some people came and said “eh, I will not nish<br />
the others started.” “Eh, I have to start and nish my own<br />
project”.<br />
This is why they are confused by our style of governance.<br />
Like I have said in the past, we will nish all uncompleted<br />
projects which are strategic to the development of our<br />
dear state. And when we nish them, we will commission them<br />
just as we are doing now. Because, when you are running a race,<br />
the question people usually ask is not, “How many people<br />
started the race?” No, it is “How many people nished the<br />
race?” It is among those who nished the race that we will<br />
choose winners.<br />
Therefore, we will nish uncompleted and abandoned projects<br />
for the benet of the good people of Oyo State.<br />
So, when they come to you and say, “Eh, the Saki Township<br />
Road was it not the former people that started it?” Tell<br />
them, “Yes, it doesn’t matter who started it, what matters<br />
is that someone nished it because this is how we engineer a<br />
modern Oyo State.”<br />
For the records, let me remind us all that the contract for this road<br />
was initially awarded in 2016, and for over three years, the contractor<br />
remained here, holding the people of Saki to ransom. In fact, as of<br />
when the contract was revoked in September 2020, the contractor<br />
had only done less than 15% of the job. But here we are today, just<br />
about 15 months after we revoked that contract celebrating another<br />
promise delivered. And we are delivering this 9.7km Saki Township<br />
Road at a relatively lower cost than when it was rst awarded in 2016.<br />
We made roughly One Billion Naira in savings.<br />
And this is what we will continue to do. We will continue to deliver<br />
good governance to the people of Oyo State with zero<br />
wastage.<br />
We will continue to make Oyo State the proof that good<br />
governance is possible in Nigeria. We are kickstarting an<br />
infrastructural revolution that will make people say once again<br />
with all pride, “We have roots in the Pacesetter State.” “We<br />
are proudly Oyo.”<br />
And with this, we will proceed with my brother, His Excellency,<br />
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri to commission the 9.7km Saki Township<br />
Road to the glory of God and the for benet of the good people of<br />
Oyo State.<br />
Thank you and God bless you.<br />

COMMISSIONING OF 5.25KM<br />

WEDNESDAY 16TH MARCH, 2022
Governor Seyi Makinde's Remarks at the<br />
Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa Road Commissioning<br />
117
His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE<br />
the Executive Governor of Oyo State<br />
at the Commissioning of the<br />
Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa-Road,<br />
Oyo State, on Thursday, March 17, 2022<br />
et me once again, thank His<br />
LExcellency, Governor Bala<br />
Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi<br />
State, for being here with us today. We<br />
appreciate your honouring us with your<br />
presence as we return to Oyo Town<br />
again, this time, to commission the<br />
Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa Road.<br />
Just about three months ago, we were<br />
here to ofcially ag off the 34.85km<br />
Oyo-Iseyin Road.<br />
I am sure everyone can see the work is<br />
going on well.<br />
When people hear that this road is ve<br />
point two kilometres, they might say, oh,<br />
it's a small road. But when you look at the people who came out today to celebrate this small<br />
road, you will realise how important it is to them. This Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa Road links Oyo<br />
West and Atiba Local Government Areas in the Oyo-Ile area of our state. It also links the<br />
North-South Federal (A1) Highway route 2, connecting the 35km Oyo-Iseyin and the 77km<br />
Ogbomoso–Iseyin Roads.<br />
So, it might be small to some, but to our people here in Oyo Ile, is it small?<br />
Yes, we will continue to full our mandate to our people, in small ways and big ways.<br />
Part of that mandate is to stem rural-urban migration by ensuring good road network<br />
and interconnectivity outside Ibadan Zone.<br />
118
Very soon, in fact, in the next two months, we will be counting three<br />
years in ofce. And we will be presenting our scorecard. The<br />
good thing is that our scorecard is not hidden. In road<br />
construction alone, we have over 550 kilometres of roads, both<br />
completed and ongoing.<br />
We have successfully laid the proper foundation for<br />
engineering a modern Oyo State.<br />
As we have said repeatedly, we believe that anywhere that roads go,<br />
development follows. And so, when we promised that we would<br />
move the good people of Oyo State from poverty to prosperity, we<br />
knew that a lot of our plans would be hinged on creating a viable<br />
road network through rehabilitations, reconstructions and<br />
constructions.<br />
So far, we have done a lot of work around the Oke-Ogun-Oyo-<br />
Ibadan axis. And we are seeing how much development this has<br />
brought in less than three years. Development means that more<br />
businesses are seeing Oyo State open up, and they are coming<br />
to site their companies here.<br />
When these companies come here, they pay taxes. And so, we<br />
have been able to raise our Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) by a<br />
record N15 billion in 2 years.<br />
And when these monies come into our purse, we plough it<br />
back into development. So when they ask, “Nibo ni Seyi<br />
n'rowo?” You can tell them: “owo development ni o”. Because<br />
we are reinvesting these monies into the economy.<br />
More recently, we are expanding the road network and linking Oke-<br />
Ogun to Ogbomoso through the Iseyin-Fapote-Ogbomoso Road.<br />
119
This seventy-six point seven-kilometre road will serve the<br />
same purpose as the Moniya-Ijaiye-Iseyin Road – providing a<br />
vital link between two zones.<br />
Now that we have successfully linked these four<br />
zones, people will ask: what about the fth zone?<br />
What about the people of Ibarapaland?<br />
We have a message for our people in Ibarapa Zone. We are<br />
coming for you!<br />
Yes, we did not forget you.<br />
The Englishman says the patient dog eats the fattest bone,<br />
but our people say it is the person who gets the bottom of<br />
the pot that eats the sweetest part of the food.<br />
In our bid to engineer a modern Oyo State, the<br />
people of Ibarapa will not be left out. We have reawarded<br />
the reconstruction of the 58km Omi Adio-Ido-<br />
Eruwa Road. Also, we have approved the limited<br />
rehabilitation of the Igboora-Igangan-Iganna Road while the<br />
reconstruction of the Isaba-Ogundoyin Road, Eruwa is<br />
currently ongoing.<br />
We did not come into government without a plan. We<br />
knew what we wanted to accomplish, and I am happy that<br />
you are all seeing a modern Oyo State develop before your<br />
very eyes.<br />
An Oyo State where no zone is left behind in our<br />
development plan.<br />
An Oyo State we can all be proud of.<br />
So today, we are here to rejoice with the people of Oyo<br />
Zone as we commission this 5.2km Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa<br />
Road.<br />
And on that note, I invite my brother, His Excellency,<br />
Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, the Executive<br />
Governor of Bauchi State, to perform the commissioning to<br />
the glory of God and for the benet of the good people of<br />
Oyo State.<br />
Thank you, and God bless you.<br />

His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE<br />
the Executive Governor of Oyo State<br />
at the Official Flag-Off of the<br />
Construction of the Saki-Ogbooro<br />
-Igboho Road<br />
on Monday, May 31, 2021.<br />
et me welcome you all to the ofcial ag-off<br />
Lof the 45.3km Saki-Ogbooro-Igboho Road.<br />
The road was awarded for N8.7billion and<br />
the contractors are Messrs China Civil Engineering<br />
Construction Corporation (CCECC). They have<br />
been on site for the past three months and we can<br />
see how far they've gone. We are expecting that this<br />
project will be completed in May 2022. And the<br />
contractors have assured me that it will be ready.<br />
The road is of great economic signicance to the<br />
people of Saki, Ogbooro and Igboho. It will serve as<br />
a link between these communities and we all know<br />
what happens when communities are linked –<br />
economic boom. We have seen this happen in<br />
other areas where we have opened up through<br />
roads. People who moved out of Apete are now<br />
returning because their road is better. And even<br />
closer to you here, with the reconstruction of the<br />
124
Moniya-Iseyin Road, we see farm estates springing up<br />
on both sides of the road.<br />
When you think of it, you will see that a good road<br />
network serves as the foundation for development in<br />
other sectors. For example, we cannot have a<br />
thriving tourism industry when the roads are<br />
bad. When people think of how much they have to<br />
suffer to get to some destinations, they will rather<br />
just stay away.<br />
So, when people ask us why we have not started<br />
doing something visible about our tourism sites, I<br />
usually tell them, one thing at a time. First, we<br />
create the needed infrastructure and then we<br />
build on it. As I always say, our plan is to lift the<br />
people out of Oyo State from poverty to prosperity.<br />
To accomplish this, we have to take decisions<br />
based on science, data and logic.<br />
So, you can clearly see the logic behind why we are<br />
now turning attention to tourism at this time. We<br />
needed to build the base infrastructure. And we are<br />
not resting on our oars. We will continue to deliver<br />
good roads and quality infrastructure to our people.<br />
On this note, I hereby ofcially ag off the<br />
reconstruction Saki-Ogbooro-Igboho Road, to the<br />
glory of God and the for benet of the good people<br />
of Oyo State.<br />

GOVERNOR SEYI MAKINDE'S<br />
REMARKS AT THE FLAG-OFF OF<br />
THE 38.45KM OYO-ISEYIN ROAD<br />
134
As you drive in from the Oyo end of this road, you will<br />
see the amount of work that Messrs Kopek<br />
Construction Ltd have already done on this road. I'm<br />
sure the good people of Oyo are already seeing the benets<br />
of this road construction. And when it is completed, it will<br />
become a vital link between the farming communities of<br />
Oke-Ogun and Oyo, providing the much-needed market<br />
linkage between these zones.<br />
Well, this is the ofcial ag-off of the construction, but the<br />
contractors have been on-site for ve months. You can now<br />
do the maths to see if they are on course to complete their<br />
work within the scheduled one year. They have assured us<br />
that this will happen.<br />
Permit me at this point to once again welcome my brother,<br />
His Excellency Douye Diri, the Executive Governor of<br />
Bayelsa State and thank him for honouring us with his<br />
presence to ag off this road construction ofcially.<br />
As I mentioned, Messrs Kopek Construction is handling this<br />
contract. The total contract sum which was originally eight<br />
point four billion Naira (N8.4 billion) was increased to nine<br />
point nine billion Naira (N9.9 billion) last month.<br />
As you may be aware, this is a federal road being reconstructed by the<br />
Oyo State Government. So, after consultation with the Federal<br />
Government, we were given specications to comply with.<br />
135
For example, we had to increase the width of the road from<br />
10.75m to 12.75m to meet the federal government<br />
specications. We are executing the project using the<br />
Alternative Project Funding Approach (APFA).<br />
Let me take a few minutes to talk about our approach to<br />
executing projects in Oyo State.<br />
Some people are still confused as to how we are still<br />
agging off projects when some states are nding it<br />
difcult to pay salaries. They do not understand how we are<br />
raising Oyo State's Internally Generated Revenue (IGR),<br />
building our economy and engineering a modern Oyo State.<br />
With APFA, the contractor funds the project, and we pay back<br />
over an agreed period of time. And let me make this clear: you<br />
have my word that not one Naira will be left unpaid to any<br />
contractor under APFA at the end of our current tenure.<br />
For example, for this project, which was awarded in June this<br />
year, the repayment period is seventeen (17) months. This<br />
means that the project will be completed before all the<br />
repayments are made. However, the last repayment will be<br />
made by December 2022.<br />
And so, what do they do?<br />
They go to town with stories.<br />
Seyi Makinde is taking on hidden debts. He is going to turn our<br />
children into slaves. The debt he is leaving, we don't know<br />
how many years it will take us to pay it.<br />
All lies, fake news and disinformation.<br />
Our secret to carrying on these projects is the<br />
Alternative Project Funding Approach (APFA). And I can<br />
say it's an open secret. Because from when we started using it,<br />
we have always been open and transparent about it.<br />
136
So, do not allow anyone to confuse you—road construction is<br />
a big part of our engineering a modern Oyo State.<br />
The building of roads forms the foundation of the<br />
development of all other sectors of the four pillars of our<br />
governance as clearly outlined in our Roadmap to<br />
Accelerated Development in Oyo State, 2019-2023<br />
.<br />
You need good roads to drive to healthcare centres. Without<br />
good roads, our children cannot go to school. How will our<br />
farmers get to the markets if the roads are bad? And no<br />
matter how many vehicles we give to security agencies,<br />
how will they be able to get to people in trouble when the<br />
roads are bad?<br />
So, we will continue to build a viable road network for our dear<br />
state. This is the path to sustainable development.<br />
We look forward to coming back here in seven months to<br />
commission this 34.85km Oyo-Iseyin Road to the glory of God<br />
and for the benet of the good people of Oyo State.<br />

His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi<br />
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE<br />
the Executive Governor<br />
of Oyo State<br />
at the Flag Off of the 76.67km<br />
Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin Road<br />
on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.<br />
We are here today to ag-off of the<br />
76.67km Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin Road<br />
construction here in Ogbomoso.<br />
But before I go on with my remarks, let me stop and<br />
say a big thank you to my brother, the Executive<br />
Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency AbdulRasaq<br />
AbdulRahman. We are very happy that you could join<br />
us here today, especially as you are our next-door<br />
neighbour.<br />
Many people may not know, but Oyo State<br />
shares a border with Kwara State here at<br />
Ogbomoso and so, this road is of vital economic<br />
importance to both states. When it comes to the<br />
facilitation of trade between the two states and the<br />
movement of agricultural produce, our farmers and<br />
other investors will be able to go from Iseyin all the way to Kwara through this<br />
route. Also, the road will facilitate easy commutes between the Ladoke Akintola<br />
University of Technology (LAUTECH) campuses in Ogbomoso and Iseyin.<br />
As we always say, every project we embark on here in Oyo State, will<br />
have data and logic behind it. So, for those asking, this is the logic behind this<br />
road construction. We are facilitating both intracity and interstate movements.<br />
151
It bears repeating that where roads go,<br />
development follows. And so, in our quest to<br />
continue in the work of engineering a modern<br />
Oyo State, we will continue executing road<br />
projects.<br />
Some people have come out to say we<br />
should focus on one section of the state and<br />
ensure it is developed. But this is not the<br />
path to sustainable development. As I have<br />
said in the past, we do not want to recreate<br />
the problem with Nigeria in Oyo State.<br />
Today, we are talking about restructuring as the<br />
way forward for Nigeria because people in one<br />
section of the country believe that they are the<br />
ones creating all the wealth that people from the<br />
other sections are benetting from.<br />
So here in Oyo State, we have chosen that we<br />
will develop all the zones in the state and the<br />
best way to do this is by creating an effective<br />
road network.<br />
In this way, we are leveraging our comparative<br />
advantage in agriculture.<br />
152
Because of what good is it that our farmers are producing but<br />
they cannot move their produce to the market? Or that they have<br />
access to just local markets where only people from the same vicinity<br />
can buy, whereas they can get paid more when they are able to easily<br />
travel to larger markets not just within the state but also outside it.<br />
Of course, this our view of expanding the economy through efcient<br />
road network may not be understood by many, especially those who<br />
do not have the interests of the people at heart. Or how else will<br />
you explain it that someone questioning the importance of the<br />
Airport-Ajia-New Ife Road with a spur to Amuloko and the<br />
Iseyin-Ogbomoso Road projects, saying they have little or no<br />
economic value to the state.<br />
People of Ogbomoso, is this road of value?<br />
What about our brothers in Iseyin, do you think this road is important?<br />
So, we will continue to fulll our mandate given to us by the people.<br />
We will not relent in all our efforts to move Oyo State to prosperity<br />
as we focus on protecting the interests of the good people of our<br />
dear state.<br />
And on that note, I will give my brother, His Excellency, Governor<br />
AbdulRasaq AbdulRahman, the opportunity to speak to us and then we<br />
will proceed to ag off the 76.67Km Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin Road<br />
project to the glory of God and for the benet of the good people of<br />
Oyo State.<br />
Thank you and God bless you.<br />

Governor Seyi Makinde’s<br />
Remarks at the Official Flag-Off<br />
of the Asphaltic<br />
Reconstruction/Rehabilitation/<br />
Expansion of the Ibadan-Iwo-<br />
Osogbo Road<br />
Today, I want to talk to you about the word<br />
“revolution”. I know, when people hear the<br />
word revolution, they often think of bloody<br />
wars that lead to change in a political order. Well,<br />
don't be alarmed, I am not here to preach violence.<br />
Rather, I am here to talk about a different kind of<br />
revolution that is happening in the south west of<br />
Nigeria but ably led by my brother, Governor Oyetola<br />
and myself.<br />
You know, revolutions always bring to birth a new<br />
order, a new way of doing things. And so, the<br />
revolution in the south west has led to us changing the<br />
former ways of doing things. In the past, every state<br />
used to mind their own business and operate in their<br />
own little corners. But with this new way of doing<br />
things, we are pursuing collaborations with our sister<br />
states.<br />
When we just came in, we started on this path with<br />
one of the biggest collaborations in the history of<br />
south west states. We all came together and decided<br />
on creating the Western Nigeria Security Network<br />
code named Amotekun. And in 2020, we<br />
operationalised the Oyo-Amotekun. As I have said on<br />
many occasions, our people cannot imagine life<br />
without Amotekun.<br />
186
187
lso, just about two years ago, we celebrated<br />
Aanother win that resulted from this revolution. My<br />
brother, our host for this ag-off, His Excellency<br />
Gboyega Oyetola, the Executive Governor of Osun<br />
State, was a big part of that history. He benevolently<br />
acceded to granting us sole ownership of the Ladoke<br />
Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), which<br />
made it possible for me to fulll a campaign promise to<br />
the good people of Oyo State.<br />
Let me once again use this opportunity to say<br />
thank you, egbon.<br />
Additionally, earlier this year, just over six months ago, we<br />
had a handshake with my brother from Ogun State, His<br />
Excellency Dapo Abiodun. You will recall that we held a<br />
joint security meeting over rising security threats at that<br />
time. Together, we worked on securing the lives and<br />
properties of our people at border communities of our<br />
states. Since that collaboration, reports of kidnappings in<br />
that axis have drastically reduced.<br />
Today, I am joining His Excellency Gboyega Oyetola,<br />
and together we are again, making history. This time,<br />
as jointly agreed, we will be linking our dear states<br />
with a road project. And so, another milestone of<br />
collaboration is reached with this agging off of the<br />
asphaltic reconstruction, rehabilitation and expansion of<br />
the Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan Road. Well, coming from Oyo<br />
State, you would say Ibadan-Iwo-Osogbo Road. Don't be<br />
confused, it's the same road. It's just a matter of direction.<br />
I need to acknowledge also that we have both<br />
demonstrated that politics should be left to those few<br />
months when INEC says we should begin campaigning<br />
either for elections or re-election.<br />
Even then, just as my egbon has demonstrated, we<br />
must practice politics of justice and fairness without<br />
bitterness and rancour. The revolution we are leading<br />
is a revolution of thought, it is a revolution of ideas. And<br />
we are saying, governance must always trump politics.<br />
When we make decisions, we must always put the<br />
interests of our people rst.<br />
Of course, you already know that my brother, the<br />
Governor of Osun State is from an opposing party, the<br />
All Progressives Congress (APC), while I belong to the<br />
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Despite this<br />
difference, we have accomplished things that people<br />
from the same party were unable to do.<br />
This is the revolution we are talking about.<br />
This latest collaboration also comes with dividends of good<br />
governance. When this road is completed, our people will<br />
be able to travel with ease between the states thereby<br />
enhancing trade and commerce.<br />
188
And as we always say in Oyo<br />
State, where roads go,<br />
development follows. So, in<br />
the next year or<br />
thereabouts, we will begin<br />
to see the development in<br />
real terms.<br />
I know we are not here to<br />
campaign, but there is a<br />
prophetic word from my<br />
brother and I know that Oyo<br />
State people are ready for<br />
Omituntun 2.0. So, we will<br />
allow God's will to be done.<br />
And on this note we will -ga ot<br />
deecorpoff the entire stretch of<br />
Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan Road to<br />
the glory of the Almighty God<br />
and for the fo teneb<br />
the good people of Osun and<br />
Oyo States.<br />
Thank you and God bless you.<br />
