Our projects and policies have ensured that the Oyo State economy
continues to grow. As of 2022, we have reduced Oyo States
dependence on FAAC to just about 50.
This will be one of the last projects we will commission before the
elections. And it is significant that we are taking another step towards
opening our state to further economic growth. I can say that this is a
transition project.
On the one hand, it was conceived as one of the projects that will form
the foundation for accelerated development, which we now call
Omituntun 1.0. As has been mentioned, work on this road commenced
in February 2022. We have completed the project in one year just in
time to move into Om 2.0.
We believe that just as you gave us the
mandate to serve you the first time, you
will do so again in about eight days
from now.
Completing and commissioning this
project also fulfils our promise꞉ To
continue diligently serving the good
people of Oyo State till the last day of
our first tenure. As you can see, we are
doing just that.
In the spirit of promises, I also stated
that when this road is completed, it will
be renamed after a former Governor of
Oyo State, Dr Omololu Olunloyo. So
today, I have the honour of renaming
this 3.2 km Ibadan Airport Road, Dr
Omololu Olunloyo Airport Road. We
are happy that Baba is here with us
today and that God spared his life to
see this road named after himself.
As an administration, we will continue
to honour our heroes and all leaders
who served the state diligently. Their
labours will not be forgotten.
I will now invite my brother, Governor
Nyesom Wike to deliver his remarks
before we proceed to commission the
Dr Omololu Olunloyo Airport Road to
the glory of God and for the benefit of
the good people of Oyo State.
