The Oyo State Government has reaffirmed its determination to complete all ongoing infrastructural projects across the state before the end of the current administration in 2027.

This assurance was given by the Deputy Governor, Barrister Bayo Lawal, during an inspection tour of key projects under the Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP). The visit covered the 8.24 km Okudu-Oyada-FRSC Road spanning Atisbo and Saki West Local Government Areas, and the 21.953 km Oloko-Oyo-Orita Aloba Road in Iseyin Local Government Area.

Lawal emphasized that Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration, operating under the Omotuntun 2.0 agenda, is fully committed to delivering quality infrastructure that improves rural connectivity, boosts agricultural productivity, and raises the standard of living for residents.

“Governor Seyi Makinde’s vision is clear and deliberate — no project will be abandoned. Every ongoing road construction and rural development initiative will be completed and delivered to the people of Oyo State before the expiration of this administration in 2027,” he stated.

He commended the progress made on the RAAMP projects and assured that the state government will continue to provide close monitoring and support to contractors to ensure timely and quality delivery.

Lawal also reiterated the administration’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and people-focused governance, noting that ongoing investments will have a lasting impact across all zones of the state.

Speaking during the visit, Mr. Abdulraheem Mojid, Secretary of the Grievance Redress Committee for the Okudu-Oyada Road, applauded the government’s efforts, stating that the project has greatly improved livelihoods in the Tede/Saki communities and neighboring areas.

The Deputy Governor was accompanied by the Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, Barrister Olasunkanmi Olaleye; State Project Coordinator, Mrs. Adeola Ekundayo; and other key stakeholders.
