The Oyo State Government has commenced a major road rehabilitation project in key areas of Ibadan, the state capital, to improve transportation infrastructure and enhance mobility.

The roads under rehabilitation include Bashorun Oluwo-nla, Agbowo Road, Eleyele-Water Road, and Zion Plaza-Olusoji Road.

The projects are expected to be completed within eight weeks, according to a statement signed by the Chairman of the Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA), Hon. Busoye Ogunlade, on Friday in Ibadan.

He stated that the ongoing rehabilitation is based on the availability of funds and the economic significance of the selected roads.

Ogunlade stressed that the initiative aligns with the Seyi Makinde-led administration’s commitment to making the state more attractive to both local and foreign investors.

“Governor Seyi Makinde has given us the mandate to rehabilitate roads across the state, and we have mobilized our men to these sites,” he said.

He further explained that to ensure the project addresses critical needs, the governor directed stakeholders to submit lists of priority roads requiring immediate attention in their areas.

Hon. Ogunlade disclosed that rehabilitation work has already begun on some of the roads, while contractors are set to commence work on the remaining ones soon.

“Work has commenced on some of these roads, as we speak. However, repairs on other roads will begin shortly,” he added.

He advised commuters to adhere to temporary traffic diversions and cooperate with the ongoing construction efforts.
