Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, on Tuesday expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for approving the award of the contract for the construction of the Oyo Circular Road from Ijawaya–FGGC–Sabo–Ilora to Akinmorin in Oyo Federal Constituency.

The commendation was contained in a statement issued by the monarch’s Director of Media and Publicity, Bode Durojaiye, in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

The Alaafin noted that, for decades, the poor condition of roads in Oyo metropolis had posed severe socio-economic challenges for residents, adding that the Tinubu administration’s prompt attention to the critical infrastructure would bring immense relief.

The PUNCH reports that the monarch, during a recent visit to the President at his Bourdillon residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, called for the urgent provision of critical infrastructure in the metropolis to improve the socio-economic well-being of the people.
