Makinde Pledges to Resolve Circular Road Issues.
By Adewale Owoade
Gov. Seyi Makinde has met with stakeholders in the Ologuneru axis, in fulfilment of his promise to engage property owners affected by the 110km Senator Rashidi Ladoja Circular Road project, Oyo State.
The hours-long engagement saw the governor listen to representatives of affected property owners, assuring them that his administration would resolve all setback and development-corridor concerns before leaving office in 2027.
“The road is not like a road between Oje and Beere; this is a rapid transit. People are going to be moving at a fast pace, so for that level of movement, you need to have a standard setback.
“So again, we are going to sit down with everybody. If we say we should not go 500, yes, in some places we cannot go beyond 500 metres, but we still have to maintain that minimum setback because of the type of road we are constructing.”
Representatives of property owners praised the governor’s compassion and urged him to bring a lasting solution to the longstanding issues.
They expressed confidence in his ability to address their concerns.
The meeting was attended by the Secretary to the State Government, Prof Olanike Adeyemo; Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt Hon Adebo Ogundoyin; Chief of Staff, Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi; Head of Service, Mrs Olubunmi Oni, mni; commissioners, local government chairmen and traditional leaders.
