As part of its ongoing efforts to revamp infrastructure and drive urban development, the Oyo State government has opened the newly rehabilitated Eleyele-Water Road in Ibadan.
Speaking during the opening of the road, Chairman of the Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA), Hon. Busoye Ogunlade, stated that the rehabilitated road will ease traffic congestion on the Eleyele-Sango road and serve as a diversion for commuters heading towards the Ologuneru Road.
Ogunlade said the repair work, which took about a week to complete, focused on deteriorated asphalt sections of the road.

He said, “The Eleyele-Water road was completed this year, and today, we are delighted to open it for the use of the people living in this axis. Presently, the Oyo State government is embarking on a massive rehabilitation of roads, which encompasses the rehabilitation and upgrading of four strategically important roads: Zion Plaza-Olusoji, Eleyele-Water, Bashorun Oluwo-nla, and Agbowo roads.”
According to Ogunlade, the upgrade of the Eleyele-Water road will reduce travel time, minimize flooding, and boost property and business values in the axis.
He called for community involvement in maintaining the roads to ensure their durability.
Hon. Busoye Ogunlade commended stakeholders and residents for their support and reaffirmed Governor Seyi Makinde’s commitment to infrastructure development.
