The Acting Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Lawal, says the government is resolute and committed to rehabilitation of all township roads across the state.

Mr Lawal gave the assurance on Monday while inspecting some roads in Ibadan metropolis.

He said that the Makinde administration would not renege on its promise to reposition the state by ensuring that all roads across Oyo State are motorable.

“Our roads are calling for rehabilitation throughout Oyo State and this is just the beginning of what we are doing as an administration.

“We want to package all the road networks, especially within the metropolis of Ibadan and see how we can transform and make them passable.

“Here, you can see that the situation of the road is very bad, meaning there must be an intervention to turn this road to a passable one.

“If we do this, our neighbourhoods will be nice to look at, the environmental enhancement will be better and people will live in a healthy environment.

“So, it is an ongoing process. We are doing this within the metropolis, we will also go into the hinterland and do the same thing, so that people will feel the dividends of democracy as we promised the people of Oyo State.

“The governor is not around, but he is aware of this because he instructed that we must carry out this exercise and that is what we are doing,’’ Mr Lawal said.

The acting governor said that starting from tomorrow; the people would begin to feel the impact of the state government with respect to rehabilitation of some of these roads.

Mr Lawal was accompanied by the Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Abiodun Oni and his counterpart in the Ministry of Public Works and Transport, Daud Sangodoyin.

Also on the governor’s entourage were some management staff of the Oyo State Roads Maintenance Agency (OYSROMA) who inspected the Mokola – Dugbe road, OkeBola – OkeAdo road and Molete-Kudeti road among others.
