The Oyo State government has opened the rehabilitated Eleyele-Water road in Ibadan, highlighting the state’s drive toward infrastructure renewal and urban development.
The road was opened today by the Chairman, Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency, OYSROMA, Hon. Busoye Ogunlade.
Ogunlade, speaking in Ibadan during the opening emphasised the pivotal role of transportation infrastructure in driving economic growth and improving the quality of life in Oyo State.
He said the road will ease traffic on the Eleyele- Sango road, saying it will serve as a diversion for those heading towards Ologuneru road.
According to the Chairman, the Agency facilitated the repair of deteriorated asphalt sections of the road, stating that the repair work took about a week.
“The Eleyele-Water road was completed this year, and today, we are delighted to open it for the use of the people living in this axis. Presently, the Oyo state government is embarking on a massive rehabilitation of roads which encompasses the rehabilitation and upgrading of 4 strategically important roads: Zion plaza-Olusoji; Eleyele-Water; Bashorun Oluwo-nla, and Agbowo roads,” he added.
Ogunlade noted that the upgrade on Eleyele-Water road would reduce travel time, minimise flooding, and boost property and business values in the axis.
He also called for community involvement in maintaining the roads to ensure their durability.
Hon. Busoye Ogunlade commended stakeholders and residents for their support and reaffirmed Governor Seyi Makinde’s commitment to infrastructure development.
