Amidst heartwarming cheers and commendations from stakeholders, residents and traders in Ilasamaja Ward, the indefatigable council chairman, Olasoju Adebayo, today, flagged off the construction of Baale and Ibadan Streets.
The project is being undertaken by the council authority as one of the “114 LG Roads” promptings of the Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration among local governments and local council development areas in the state.
In his remarks, Olasoju impressed it on his audience that, upon completion, the project will take the tally of undertaken road projects by his administration to 36 assuring that he would rather continue his even distribution of developmental strides among the subsisting wards than rest on his oars.
Highlighting the features of the road, Olasoju explained that it will be interlocked using one of world’s best paving stones – HFP with drainage channels on both sides as well street light for illumination at night.
Meanwhile, the council boss requested for the observation of a minute silence in honour of the late Osolo Of Isolo, Oba Kabiru Alani Agbabiaka whom he said would have been happy to be part of the occasion given his penchant for development across the communities particularly in Ilasa.
“Today’s groundbreaking exercise and the onward construction of this road is in furtherance of our administration’s commitment to leaving no area out of our development stride and my humble appeal to residents especially those on this street to give the contractor the needed support while the construction lasts stating “The project will be delivered on time to avoid weather disruption and it is my expectation that the community will take ownership of it upon completion,” Olasoju said.
On his part the Baale of Ilasamaja, High Chief Fatai Alani Abereijo showered encomium on the council boss for making Ilasamaja the destination of after a long wait. He assured of continued cooperation with the contractor and proper maintenance of the road when delivered.
