The Osun State Government has commenced dualisation work on the Ede and Osogbo township roads which was included in his recently unveiled infrastructure plan for the state.
The spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Osogbo, the state capital, while speaking at the launch of the construction work on the roads, totalling 11.17 kilometres and expected to be completed by 2024.
Rasheed explained that documentation processes were being completed on proposed flyovers across the three Senatorial Districts in the state.
In the statement, Adeleke gave the assurance that quality infrastructure would be delivered for the use of the Osun people.
The statement read, “The dualisation of Old Garage Roundabout to Okefia Roundabout to Lameco Roundabout, Osogbo has commenced alongside the dualisation of Akoda Junction to Cottage Junction to Baptist High School Area, Ede.
“The construction of flyovers at Ile Ife, Osogbo and Ede is to commence in due course as soon as the ongoing documentation processes are completed.”
Speaking, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Mr. Bashir Bello, who noted that earthwork has commenced on the roads, added, “The contractors have mobilized to sites. We are glad our people have been reporting the commencement of work even before we make an official announcement.
“In the next few days, we will announce likely diversions and alternative traffic routes. All efforts will be made to make the construction process as people-friendly as possible.”
He stated further that the Ministry, in line with Adeleke’s directive, has complied with due process and procurement laws, assuring that all hands were on deck to deliver the projects as scheduled.
