Governor Adeleke Orders Spot Rehabilitation of Iwo-Osogbo Road Ahead of Full Reconstruction

NEWS RELEASE

OSOGBO – 03/08/2025 – Osunstate.gov.ng

As preparation heightens for the full reconstruction of Iwo-Osogbo road, Governor Ademola Adeleke has ordered immediate spot rehabilitation of the very bad areas of the road to ease the burden of motorists.

The Governor gave the directive to the Ministry of Works following increasing deterioration of the central region of the road amidst the current rainy season.

While the procurement process for the reconstruction of the road is almost completed, the state governor ordered the ministry to take remedial action to restore seamless mobility along the critical road artery.

The governor had gotten reports that some segments of the road are almost divided into two with multiple gullies which make the road connecting five local governments to the state capital almost impassable.

Following the directive of the Governor, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Works deployed a team of engineers to assess the road to draw a plan of action for spot rehabilitation of the worst areas of the road.

The implementation of the Governor’s directive commences next Tuesday according to the plan by the Ministry.

Governor Adeleke in his message to the five local governments affected by the dilapidated road assures them that his administration has finalized a plan to fast-track the completion of the project by breaking the existing contract into three and get three companies, including the previous contractor to reconstruct the road with a completion date of less than a year.

It will be recalled that the road was awarded at the twilight of the administration of former Governor Oyetola, with the contractor delivering portion equivalent to the released fund, the remaining portion is now set for completion.

“We are at the final stage of the procurement process. The contractors will soon be mobilized to site. We are slow because we have a duty to strictly comply with due process and the procurement laws.

“Our people in Iwo, Ayedire, Olaoluwa, Ejigbo, Egbedore and Ede local governments should be rest assured that our administration will break the jinx and complete the reconstruction of the road. We understand how strategic the road is to the economic life of the affected local governments”, the state governor was quoted as saying.

Mallam Olawale Rasheed,
Spokesperson to the State Governor.
