President Bola Ahmed Tinubu launched two major road projects in Osun State on Thursday, allocating N216.7 billion for the initiatives. The projects include the 82-kilometre Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan Road and the reconstruction of the Osogbo-Gbongan Road, which will be dualised over a 44-kilometre stretch. Tinubu directed contractors to mobilise immediately to the site, emphasizing the importance of timely completion. The projects aim to improve connectivity and economic activity in the region.
The Osogbo-Iwo-Ibadan Road is a key infrastructure project designed to enhance transportation across the state. The Osogbo-Gbongan Road, which will be dualised, is expected to reduce travel time and increase safety for road users. Tinubu’s directive highlights the government’s focus on infrastructure development to support regional growth.
Both projects are part of a broader effort to modernise Nigeria’s transportation network. The funding reflects the administration’s commitment to addressing infrastructure gaps. The contractors involved are expected to begin work soon, with the goal of completing the projects within the planned timeline. (businessday.ng)
