IBADAN, OYO STATE, NIGERIA – The Oyo State Government has initiated a significant road rehabilitation project in Ibadan, the state capital, aimed at improving transportation infrastructure and enhancing mobility for residents and visitors.
In a statement e-signed by Hon. Busoye Ogunlade, Chairman of the Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA), and shared with StarTrend Int’l Magazine and its online platform by the Oyo State Ministry of Information, the government announced the roads slated for rehabilitation. These include Bashorun Oluwo-nla Road, Agbowo Road, Eleyele-Water Road, and Zion Plaza-Olusoji Road.
The projects are expected to be completed within eight weeks, ensuring minimal disruption to daily activities and expediting the benefits to road users.
Hon. Ogunlade emphasized that the ongoing rehabilitation aligns with the availability of funds and the economic importance of the targeted roads. The initiative prioritizes routes critical for economic activities and public convenience.
The OYSROMA chairman also highlighted that this effort reflects the commitment of the Seyi Makinde-led administration to transform Oyo State into a more attractive destination for both local and foreign investors.
“Governor Seyi Makinde has given us the mandate to rehabilitate roads across the State, and we have mobilized Engineers, through direct labour to these sites,” he said.
Hon. Ogunlade noted that to make the exercise have the desired impact on the people, the Agency has gone across all zones and picked critical roads that need rehabilitation across the State.
“This is borne out of the complaints we received during zonal town hall meetings from residents of the state. Our Engineers have swung into action and have taken measurements of critical roads,” he posited.
The OYSROMA boss said rehabilitation works have commenced on some of the roads, while OYROMA Engineers will move to the remaining ones soon.
“Work has commenced on some of these roads, as we speak. However, repairs on other roads will commence soon.”
Hon. Ogunlade therefore advised commuters to follow temporary traffic diversions and cooperate with the ongoing construction efforts.
