Royal fathers in Oyo town have lauded the Executive Chairman of the Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency, OYSROMA, Hon. Busoye Ogunlade, for his efforts in facilitating the newly approved construction of the 4-kilometre Idi-Igba-Akinmorin Road in Ilora, Afijio Local Government Area.
The royal fathers also commended Governor Seyi Makinde for the approval, describing the project as another demonstration of the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development and grassroots transformation.
The commendation was contained in a statement signed by the Amorin of Akinmorin, Oba Solomon Iyiola Olayemi, on behalf of Onifiditi of Fiditi, Oba Sakirudeen Oyelere, the Alaawe of Awe, Oba Cornelius Abiola Taiwo Oladokun III; the Akibio of Ilora, Oba Stephen Olufemi Oyeniyi, Oparinde II, and several others.
The statement was made available to MOUTHPIECE NGR on Friday.
According to the statement, OYSROMA chairman, Hon. Busoye Ogunlade, a proud son of Oyo town, has written his name in gold by ensuring the approval of the project after many years of agitation by indigenes of Afijio local government.
Describing the project as another demonstration of the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development across the state, the royal fathers noted that the road will link Afijio constituency 1 and 2, allowing travel between them without passing through the long journey of Oyo town once completed.
While stating that the project’s approval will improve connectivity within the affected communities, stimulate socio-economic activities, enhance the movement of people and goods, and improve the livelihoods of residents, the royal fathers expressed optimism in OYSROMA’s capacity, under Ogunlade’s supervision, to deliver a quality road project on time.
“Hon. Ogunlade has indeed proven that he’s a pride of Oyo town. He has written his name in gold with this facilitation, and we are very grateful for his efforts and for securing the approval of Governor Seyi Makinde before the expiration of his tenure for the construction of the 4-kilometre Idi-Igba-Akinmorin Road in Ilora, Afijio local government area. We will never forget this,” the royal fathers stated.
The royal fathers also expressed appreciation to Governor Makinde for prioritizing critical road infrastructure, saying the project would improve transportation, enhance commercial activities, and positively impact residents’ livelihoods.
While applauding the governor’s continued investment in infrastructure across the state, the royal fathers noted that the construction would ease movement, boost economic activities, and improve access to social and commercial centers.
They expressed their continuous support for the governor’s developmental agenda and pledged their continued collaboration with the government in improving the welfare and living standards of the people of Afijio constituency 1 and 2, and Oyo town at large.
