The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke says his administration has completed a total of 31 kilometers of roads from November 28th, 2022 to date.

This is just another 17 kilometers of roads are currently ongoing at various stages of completion across the state, as well as additional 30 kilometers of roads have been listed for construction and reconstruction with actual work slated to start any moment from now.

Governor Adeleke in a statement by his Spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed, made the disclosure on arrival at Osogbo after attending the National Economic Council meeting in Abuja.

The Governor said his administration is paying close attention to the upgrade of Osun roads as a way of jumpstart the state economy.

He maintained that Osun had suffered due to bad roads, failing bridges and culvets which had negative impact on the state economy. 

Corroborating the Governor, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works and Transport, Mr. Bashir Bello said the 31 kilometers of roads are spread across the 30 local governments and the Area office.

He explained that the choice of the reconstructed roads are based on local consultation and utility values of such roads to the local economy
