…Inaugurates dualisation of Ereja-brewery road

Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has disclosed that his administration did not favour any zone in the distribution of infrastructural projects.

This is as he flagged off the dualisation of Ereja-Brewery road in Ilesa which will cost N16.5billion and it is billed to be completed within 12months.

Speaking at Ipade Imole after the flagg off of the road dualisation project at Ereja Square in Ilesa, Governor Ademola Adeleke, said his administration did not favour any zone against another in project distribution.

While also disclosing that his administration has not borrowed a dime since it assumed mantle of leadership in the State, he said his administration is committed delivering good governance without favouring any part of the state.

His words, “The major plank of our policy design and implementation is continuity and expansion of inherited state assets. We have refused to abandon uncompleted projects inherited from the previous administration. We are not just completing such projects but we are expanding and adding value.

“In our upholding of governance as a continuum, we initiated our landmark infra agenda alongside a multi-sector social investment programme. We have so far maintained a fair balance between what our people have come to regard as ‘stomach infrastructure’ and hard capital infrastructure. We have come to accept that as we build the road, we must intensify the strengthening of the body.

“In all our governance activities so far, let it be known that we have never borrowed a kobo. This is in line with our pledge to govern.within our available resources as we manage the huge liabilities we inherited from the previous government. If anybody tells you this administration has borrowed money, tell the person he is a liar.

“Additionally, I task us to ignore false labeling of the intentions of this administration. I am committed totally to equality of  treatment and fairness to all segments of the state. Our programmes and appointments are designed without favoritism irrespective of which parts of the state you hail from. The facts and figures are out there to prove that our government is for all and sundry.

“I also wish to restate our commitment to patronizing local contractors in line with our policy of local content. The agenda is to boost the local economy as noted in our five point agenda. We are convinced that Osun money should revolve within the Osun economy and the best tool to accomplish such is to ensure localisation in procurement practices”.
