Member of House of Representatives representing Ibadan North East/Ibadan South East Federal Constituency, Hon. Abass Adigun Agboworin, on Thursday, commended the governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, over the successful completion of the dualization of 8.2 kilometres dualised Agodi Gate-Old Ife Road-Alakia-Adegbayi Junction Road, including the Onipepeye Underpass Bridge.
The lawmaker, who is also the Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Narcotics Drug, while appreciating the governor on the commissioning of the road, described the project as another achievement aimed at moving the economy of the state forward and make life more comfortable for the people.
Speaking with journalists after the event, Agboworin, who noted that the impact of the road is immeasurable considering the stretch of kilometres, lauded the governor for heavily investing in infrastructure development in all the zones of the state.
Agboworin, who was a special guest of honour at the event, explained that the development will enhance business activities on the road covered and ensure users have a pleasant experience.
In his words: “I am delighted to witness this epoch-making event and elated to see another landmark achievement of our dear governor in this state.
“I can’t but really appreciate His Excellency and my governor for not relenting in his efforts at heavily investing in infrastructure development, targeting the economy of the state. Apart from this, he has done a lot in the past and I am sure this will not be the last.
“So, he must be commended for completing this laudable project. Now, apart from the fact that there will be less traffic around the axis, users will have a pleasant experience driving on the road.
“I believe in the governor and will continue to pray for him to excel in all the projects he has promised to execute for the good people of Oyo State in this second term.”
The lawmaker, who drove through the road from the starting point to the end to observe the quality of work done, appealed to motorists not to overspeed on the road to avoid accident.
