…… Lays the foundation of LAUTECH Campus in Iseyin
…State on the way to becoming topmost learning centre in Nigeria’
Oyo State Governor, ‘Seyi Makinde, declared that by 2023, his administration would have spent close to N70 Billion to build road infrastructure to connect all the five administrative zones of the state.
The governor stated this in Iseyin, during the sod-turning ceremony for the newly-established Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso.
He maintained that his government would complete the 38-kilometer Oyo-Iseyin Road, the 46-kilometer Saki-Ogbooro-Igboho Road, and the recently awarded 76.7-kilometer Iseyin-Fapote-Ogbomoso Road in record time, the same way it did with the 68-kilometer Moniya-Iseyin Road.
He noted that the government embarked on the building of road infrastructure to connect all zones of the state and thereby expand its economy.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted him as saying that all the roads would be completed before the expiration of his tenure.
He added that the new road would also ensure easy commute between the new faculty in Iseyin and the LAUTECH main campus in Ogbomoso.
Makinde stated that the foundation-laying ceremony of the Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences in Iseyin was a fulfillment of his campaign promise, saying: “We are gathered here today for the turning of the sod for the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), Iseyin Campus. This ceremony marks the beginning of the fulfillment of yet another promise that we made while we were on the campaign trail in 2019.
