Aiyedatiwa approves 50 township road projects across 18 LGs
Ahead of the new year and his inauguration on February 24, 2025, Ondo State Governor, Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has approved the implementation enhanced road infrastructure in towns within the state.
The Governor gave approval with the release of funds for the reconstruction, asphalt overlay and rehabilitation of over 50 selected township roads across the 18 local government areas of the State.
Speaking on the development, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Infrastructure, Pastor Ayoade Babalola, said Governor Aiyedatiwa noted that investing in road infrastructure is essential for building a strong foundation for transportation system, driving economic growth and improving quality of life.
Babalola said: “It is no longer news that in the last few months contracts for the asphalt overlay of 60km road projects across the state had since commenced following their award in August 2024. This is nothing but a testament to the governor’s extraordinary commitment to the transformation of the State’s road infrastructure.”
He added the contractors awarded the newly approved road projects have been mobilized to begin work and those projects would run together with the ongoing road projects of the outgoing Akeredolu/Aiyedatiwa administration.
According to him, the allocation of N433 billion for capital expenditure in the 2025 budget, which represents 62.06% of the total expenditure, is a positive move that demonstrates that the governor is determined to transform Ondo State into an infrastructural hub.
