Gov Adeleke Unveils Plan To Construct 5 Flyovers, 45 Roads, Health Centres Worth N100bn

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has unveiled plans to construct five flyovers by his administration to ease traffic across the state within the next one year.

Adeleke who disclosed other projects at the unveiling programme in Osogbo on Friday, explained that the projects would be financed solely by the government without borrowing from financial institutions, adding that the project execution would be done with the preference for local suppliers of materials and contractors.

The governor also said 45 roads across the 30 local government areas in the state have been selected for construction in the N100 billion infrastructure development plan for the state.

He further explained that two flyovers would be constructed in Osogbo, one in Ile-Ife, one in Owode-Ede and one in Ikirun towns. Other projects listed, include the rehabilitation of 345 health centers in the 332 Wards of Osun State, phase two of portable water provision in 332 wards of Osun State, and phase two of the rehabilitation of 31 schools in the 30 mother local governments of Osun State.

Adeleke, who warned hoodlums against extorting money from contractors that would handle the projects, further said “We are getting set to key into infra financing opportunities as long as it will not add to the financial burden of the state.

According to him, “All the proposed listed projects are purely state-sponsored without any loan from financial institutions. We are hitting the ground running immediately after this launch. We are complying with all procurement laws and due process. Our administration is ensuring localisation in the implementation process. Local content in terms of sourcing of materials and workforce are key to transfer skills and economically empower our people,” the Governor added.
