In his words, “I must say that I am really touched and moved by what is happening in Osun through Senator Ademola Adeleke. This is unprecedented, for a Governor under a different political platform to continue with a project that he didn’t start.
“We thank all the former Governors who had worked on this very important road which connects Osun and other States to the Northern part of the country. That’s why we are delighted that Governor Adeleke is continuing the project.
“I am deeply marveled and excited, this is what governance should be about, it should be about the people and not to flex political platforms. The Governor has demonstrated that it is the people first, he knows that this project is good for the people”,he stated.
Speaking on the quality of job done on the project, the Minister said, “The project has been done according to our standard at the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, I am very impressed with what am seeing”,the Minster noted.
