His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE
the Executive Governor of Oyo State
at the Commissioning of the
Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa-Road,
Oyo State, on Thursday, March 17, 2022
et me once again, thank His
LExcellency, Governor Bala
Abdulkadir Mohammed of Bauchi
State, for being here with us today. We
appreciate your honouring us with your
presence as we return to Oyo Town
again, this time, to commission the
Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa Road.
Just about three months ago, we were
here to ofcially ag off the 34.85km
Oyo-Iseyin Road.
I am sure everyone can see the work is
going on well.
When people hear that this road is ve
point two kilometres, they might say, oh,
it's a small road. But when you look at the people who came out today to celebrate this small
road, you will realise how important it is to them. This Gedu-Oroki-Sabo-Asipa Road links Oyo
West and Atiba Local Government Areas in the Oyo-Ile area of our state. It also links the
North-South Federal (A1) Highway route 2, connecting the 35km Oyo-Iseyin and the 77km
Ogbomoso–Iseyin Roads.
So, it might be small to some, but to our people here in Oyo Ile, is it small?
Yes, we will continue to full our mandate to our people, in small ways and big ways.
Part of that mandate is to stem rural-urban migration by ensuring good road network
and interconnectivity outside Ibadan Zone.
