Oyo State Governor ,Seyi Makinde has named a 15.5-kilometre road after the immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
Makinde disclosed this on Friday in his address at the flag-off of the 8.3-kilometre dualisation of Akobo Ojurin/Odogbo Barracks to Olorunda Abaa Junction by N.O. Idowu Comprehensive College, Ibadan, that directly links four local governments in Ibadan, the state capital.
According to the governor, “I will also use this opportunity to name the stretch of road from the dualised Idi Ape, all the way to Olorunda Abaa as Governor Nyesom Wike Road .
Makinde, who said he promised that he would dualise the road from Odogbo Barracks to Olorunda Abaa during his electioneering for the 2023 governorship poll, said he had kept his promise.
He added that the contract for the project was awarded before the completion of his first term in office, which he christened Omituntun 1.0, and that the official flag off of the project was done in less than two weeks of his second term (Omituntun 2.0).
Speaking on his frequent trips to Aso Rock Villa in Abuja from May 29, 2023 till date, Makinde said, “Where do you want me to go? Do you want me to go to Yola? Well, I will continue to go to where the money we spent on fixing federal roads can be refunded. So, I will.continue to go to Aso Rock to plead for a refund.”
