Some of these legacy projects include the Lagos – Calabar coastal road, Sokoto – Badagry, the Oyo – Ogbomoso road, and the Ibadan – Ile Ife – Ilesha – Akure – Benin road. It is also fair to mention the ones ongoing in my state, the N12 billion Ilesa – Eti Oni road in Atakumosa East LGA, and the N6.620 billion rehabilitation of 44kilometres Ilobu – Ifon – Ilie road among others.
“Also, the administration’s commitment in the other sectors such as energy, transportation, aviation, and agriculture are highly commendable.
