We want the road to be motorable for our people from Osogbo to Ikirun in the first phase within our 100 days in office while work will continue on the other phase toward Ila-Odo as resources is available to the government.”

    “I am assuring you that this road project to Ikirun axis will be completed with my administration’s 100 days in office.

    “But please ensure that you drive carefully on the express road. Our intention as government is to ensure your comfort not turning the road to death trap.

    “We will monitor the contractor to ensure compliance with terms of the contract and make sure we get value for our money,” he said.
