AREGBESOLA THE REAL MAN FOR OSUN STATE BUT LET WAIT TILL ANNOUNCEMENT Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, on Monday, was agog, as 21 new roads constructed by the current administration were officially commissioned. The residents of Osogbo hailed Governor Rauf Aregbesola as his convoy moved round the completed road projects. Aregbesola passed through Station Road to Ebenezer Hotel Road; Boorepo to Elelede Junction Road; Elelede to Gbemu Road; Gbodofon to Gbemu Junction Road and Ilobu Road to GRA Road, among others listed for the ceremony. Performing the commissioning of the projects at the Oroki Estate end of the roads, Aregbesola said his administration has spent a total sum of N10 billion on road constructions in the state, noting that he is not ?perturbed by the huge amount of money committed into the road projects, because they will have unquantifiable benefits on people. He added that at the inception of his administration, it had a vision of progress for Osun, of which road infrastructure development is a vital component. The governor stressed that, because of the importance of road transportation for the movement of people and goods in Nigeria, including Osun, government accorded it a priority attention in its developmental scheme. Aregbesola pointed out that his administration did not allow it to be detained by the little details of short-term inconveniences but focused on the big picture and the long-term value of the sacrifices it is making today. According to the governor, “When we started these roads, our traducers scoffed and mocked the project, claiming that we would never have the funds or the presence of mind to see them through. But to the glory of God and their eternal shame, we have delivered on our promise. “We are not resting on our oars; our greater vision is to tar every road in the state since we cannot conceive of a beautiful environment without good roads.? “We will, therefore, continue to convert our visionary road map for Osun into concrete and enduring legacy of asphaltic surfaces for the engendering of socio-economic development, progress and prosperity for our people”, the governor stated.
