In his N100 billion infrastructure development plan, Osun Governor Ademola Adeleke announced that his administration would build five flyovers in the coming year to reduce traffic.
45 highways across the state's 30 local government units have been chosen for construction, according to information released by Governor Adeleke. Without taking out loans from financial organizations, the government would provide all of the funding for the projects.
Two flyovers would be built in Osogbo, Ile-Ife, Owode-Ede, and Ikirun town, according to the governor.
He also stated that local contractors and material suppliers would be given preference when carrying out the project.
The Governor listed other projects under the plan to include the rehabilitation of 345 health centres in the 332 Wards of Osun State, phase two of potable 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.
Also listed are; the dualisation of roads in Osogbo, Ede, and Ilesa.
According to him, “We are getting set to key into infra financing opportunities as long as it will not add to the financial burden of the state.
Let me declare here that the infra plan I am about to unveil is purely state-sponsored without any loan from financial institutions. I must also add that we are hitting the ground running immediately after this launch. We are complying with all procurement laws and due process.
Very importantly, 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.”
