UNILORIN flyover to be completed December: Official
The Kwara State government has assured the University of Ilorin (Unilorin) community that the flyover bridge along the university road will be completed before the end of the year.
Rafiu Ajakaiye, the chief press secretary to Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, gave the assurance on Tuesday while speaking with journalists at the institution.
“All things being equal, it would be completed and put to use by or before December 2022,” he said.
Mr Ajakaiye, who explained that the bridge would ensure free traffic flow and stimulate economic activities, also assured surrounding community residents that the government had their best interest at heart.
He described the bridge as the gateway to the university, adding that the bridge is already at a 55 per cent completion stage.
The spokesman explained that the construction of the flyover bridge was embarked upon as a way of restoring the hitherto neglected Ilorin master plan and opening up that axis of the state capital for more orderly development.
While acknowledging the institution’s contributions to the state’s development, he noted that the university was a heritage that the government and people of Kwara well cherished.
Mr Ajakaiye explained that the state government was also doing everything possible to ensure that the state’s school system was technology-compliant to generate competent products that would be able to raise their heads anywhere in the world.
He disclosed that all the schools in four of the 16 local government areas of the state are now inter-connected via technology introduced through the KwaraLEARN programme to ensure accountability in service delivery, enhancing teaching and learning.
