Fayemi Inaugurates Road Networks In Osun

The immediate past Ekiti State Governor, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi, inaugurated the roads on Monday in Osogbo, the state capital.

This is even as Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun restated his avowed commitment to continuously unleash infrastructure development on the state as a catalyst for the industrial revolution and part of the administration's efforts at actualising the dream to making Osun the economic and industrial hub of the southwest.

The newly-completed roads inaugurated by Dr Kayode Fayemi were Osogbo-Agunbelewo-Okinni-Ilobu-Ifon-Osun and Kelebe-Osogbo-Iragbiji roads. 

Inaugurating the newly-completed roads, Dr. Fayemi applauded Oyetola for keeping faith with his electoral promises even in the face of daunting socio-economic challenges.

Fayemi who acknowledged the tremendous achievements of the Oyetola-led government in the state said it is worthy of note that the government has made impossible possible and turn difficulties to opportunities since assumption of office.

"I was very delighted when I was asked if I would be available to honour you with my presence as the Special Guest of Honour at this inauguration ceremony. 

"But I said this to Mr. Governor in private, 'You need to know how much all of our colleagues admire you so much for what we called the magic wand?'

"I know this: As the immediate past Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum, we know much of this State by way of the allocation. We know the burden of what you have been carrying since you assumed office, and if we are to do a mathematical equation vis-a-vis what you have been able to deliver on infrastructure, social welfare, good governance among others, you can only be a magician because your mathematics cannot produce an appropriate answer.

"You have been able to demonstrate the capacity to make good governance available.

"It is not just about the kilometers of road, it is how you have been able to manage to build all the roads.

"I was looking at the number of roads you have constructed with zero resources and I really want to say that you are indeed a progressive and we are proud of your accomplishments in this State. 

"On behalf of all our people and all the Afenifere in Yoruba land, I thank you for your sacrifice, dedication to duty, for your competence, for your commitment, for your compassion and for your integrity."

In his remarks, Governor Oyetola said his administration is resolute to continue to deliver on his promise until the last road in Osun is in good standing.

Oyetola who reaffirmed his administratio's commitment to continuously setting Osun on the world map of socioeconomic development, noted that the successful completion of most of the road projects was in fulfillment of the desire of his Administration to fix the failed road infrastructure not minding the classification, whether they belong to Federal, State or Local government, for the comfort of citizens and residents of Osun.
