The intervention of Governor Ademola Adeleke on roads and other infrastructures across the State has once again been lauded as timely and life-saving.
This time, it is the residents of Akeula Junction, along Prof. Abass Road, Ede who couldn’t hide their joy and appreciation to Governor Ademola Adeleke for the rehabilitation of the structurally failed culvert along the road.
They also commended the Governor for the entire rehabilitation of the road as well as other roads in the town and across the State, saying they have been long overdue.
The visibly excited residents expressed their appreciation to the Governor when a team of journalists went on an inspection of the project to see the extent of work done so far.
The residents who sang and danced on camera in appreciation of the Governor said the failed culvert and the road have been a challenge for them over the years as it has hindered the free flow of traffic as well as hampered business activities in the area.
In the words of an octogenarian, Alhaji Fatai Sanusi who was met reclining in front of his house,” This failed culvert being rehabilitated has caused serious challenges for residents of this area over the years.”
“We can’t thank Governor Adeleke enough for coming to our rescue through this rehabilitation, as you can see, both the young and old, women and children are excited. This is marvellous in our sight, to say we are happy is an understatement.”
Also sharing the sentiments of Alhaji Sanusi is Madam Sidikatu Ayanfe who said the Governor has displayed an uncommon zeal and passion to better the people’s lives.
She said she is excited that the Governor is keeping to his promises which he made during the electioneering campaign that he will put smiles on the faces of the people.
