Residents of Jericho Hill GRA and neighbouring communities in Ibadan have praised Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde for the reconstruction of the FRIN–Aleshinloye Road, describing the project as a transformative intervention that has improved security, accessibility, enhanced the environment and strengthened connectivity across several communities.

The commendation was conveyed in a letter addressed to the governor and signed by the Chairman of the Jericho Hill GRA Residents’ Association, Ven. Adewale Sanda.

In the letter, the residents expressed profound appreciation to the Oyo State Government for undertaking the reconstruction of the strategic road, which serves as a critical access route to communities including Jericho, Aleshinloye, Idi-Ishin, Forest Hill Estate and other adjoining areas.

According to the association, the project has significantly improved movement within the affected communities while also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the environment.

The residents noted that the reconstructed road has addressed longstanding accessibility challenges and delivered tangible benefits to residents and road users across the corridor.

They also commended the contractor handling the project, Quickborn Nigeria Limited, for demonstrating professionalism and responsiveness throughout the execution of the work.

The contractor maintained a cordial relationship with residents, listened to their concerns and ensured that the project was delivered with minimal inconvenience despite the challenges associated with working on the only major access road serving several estates and communities.

The association acknowledged the commitment and dedication of the contractor and its workforce to the successful completion of the project.

Reaffirming their support for the state government’s development agenda, the residents pledged their continued cooperation in initiatives aimed at improving infrastructure and advancing the development of Oyo State.
