“When I got here, what got me angry most was the way I met OSUSTECH. The day I came I wept. That was the reason, the second week I ordered that the school roads be tarred.
“The Vice-chancellor told me that the University is called citadel of abandoned projects. Today, go there, we have completed the auditorium, Senate building and others.
“We have just started. The bypass we are constructing is for Okitipupa. It’s to eliminate traffic and accidents in Okitipupa. It’s a virgin road. There has never been a road there before. We are strongly determined to do more.
In Ilaje Local Government, Governor Akeredolu said he was sure that the people of the local government will support him this time around.

Also, at Irele Local Government Area, the governor revealed that his administration would have commenced the bitumen exploration but for the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic that has stalled the process.
“I thank you because I have not lost this local government before. If not for COVID-19, we should be working on your bitumen right now. All equipment has been brought here. The yards have been renovated. Once the bitumen exploration starts it’s an end to poverty”.
“We are constructing a 6.3 km township road, 1.5km intersection Ayeka Road, we have built 33 public primary schools by SUBEB, 14 Schools by inter- governmental and 14 micro projects by the European Union”.
In Ore, the headquarters of Odigbo Local Government Area, he said his administration has fulfilled its campaign promises to the people of the town.
