Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq penultimate week paid a working visit to communities in Ifelodun and Isin local government areas of the state, reassuring them of his administration’s commitment to infrastructural and human capital development in the hinterlands.

The Governor made his first stop at Oke Onigbin and Owu Isin towns where he inspected the moribund water works and some ongoing projects in the area.

Joined  by Chairman  of Isin TIC, Tunde Fadipe and the Onigbin of Oke Onigbin, Oba Salahudeen Kamaldeen, the Governor promised to look into the challenges of the water works  serving Iji-Isin, Isanlu Isin, Pamo Isin, Iwo Isin, Abaja and Owu Isin in the Isin Local Government Area.

The  Oke-Onigbin monarch said residents of  the area last  had access to potable  water over a decade ago.

The Governor later visited  the Ile-Ire District In Ifelodun local government, beginning from Owode Ofaro where the administration is constructing a bridge connecting the district to Oke Aba town in Isin local government area.

AbdulRazaq’s convoy stopped off at  Owode, Afin, Ikosin, Idera, Alabe, and the two Oreke communities.

The elated locals said it  was the first of such by any incumbent Governor since the beginning of this Republic.

He also visited the location of the expansive marble deposits in Oreke, saying  it  offered him an opportunity to interact with the people directly and get feedbacks on government’s activities and programmes and know their other immediate needs.

‘It’s mid-term for us. I came to find out on my own the state of infrastructure, education, water and human capital development in this axis of our state. We are talking and visiting the people to get feedback. Our budget is still in the state house of assembly, some of these feedbacks will be pushed to make sure that the budget is approved in a manner that benefits the people, especially because we are still engaging our lawmakers.

Road construction and infrastructure are an ongoing process. It’s very expensive. We have allocated billions in this 2022 budget to this sector. We have heard the request of our people and we will see what we can do to gradually address these challenges’ he said.

The traditional rulers took turns to commend the Governor for his unique visits to the area and for the construction of the Awere and Imu bridges that connect the communities as well as the recent recruitment of teachers and construction of school facilities in the area.

They seek the construction of the road which connects the district to ease transportation of farm produce, boost the local economy and development of the area.

The traditional rulers  that  the governor visited their palaces include the Olu of Owode Ofaro, Oba Raheem Ayilara; Onidera of Idera,  Oba James Oladipo Buraimoh (African Tiger) and Afetu of Alabe, Oba Bamidele Aderounmu.
