The All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate in Oyo State, Sharafadeen Alli, has commended President Bola Tinubu for approving over N1.137 trillion for the construction and rehabilitation of eight strategic road projects across the three senatorial districts of Oyo State.
This is contained in a statement he personally signed and made available to newsmen on Tuesday in Ibadan.
Senator Alli described the approval as a historic intervention that would transform the state’s infrastructure, stimulate economic growth, enhance regional connectivity and improve the living standards of the people.
He said the approval once again demonstrated President Tinubu’s commitment to equitable development, national integration and the Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to him, the massive investment in critical road infrastructure is a clear testament that Oyo State occupies a strategic place in the development agenda of the Federal Government.
He listed the approved projects as the N276 billion dualization of the Ilorin-Ogbomoso Road, N217 billion dualization of the old alignment Ijawaya-Federal Government College-Ilorin Road with a spur to Akinmorin, N265 billion reconstruction of the Iseyin-Eruwa-Agbesi Road linking Oyo and Kwara states, and the N110 billion reconstruction of the Ogbomoso-Oko-Illupu Road linking Oyo and Osun states.
