His Excellency Engr. OluSeyi
Abiodun Makinde D.Sc, FNSE
the Executive Governor
of Oyo State
at the Flag Off of the 76.67km
Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin Road
on Wednesday, May 18, 2022.
We are here today to ag-off of the
76.67km Ogbomoso-Fapote-Iseyin Road
construction here in Ogbomoso.
But before I go on with my remarks, let me stop and
say a big thank you to my brother, the Executive
Governor of Kwara State, His Excellency AbdulRasaq
AbdulRahman. We are very happy that you could join
us here today, especially as you are our next-door
neighbour.
Many people may not know, but Oyo State
shares a border with Kwara State here at
Ogbomoso and so, this road is of vital economic
importance to both states. When it comes to the
facilitation of trade between the two states and the
movement of agricultural produce, our farmers and
other investors will be able to go from Iseyin all the way to Kwara through this
route. Also, the road will facilitate easy commutes between the Ladoke Akintola
University of Technology (LAUTECH) campuses in Ogbomoso and Iseyin.
As we always say, every project we embark on here in Oyo State, will
have data and logic behind it. So, for those asking, this is the logic behind this
road construction. We are facilitating both intracity and interstate movements.
