Prof. Sangodoyin stated,

“We just commenced Omituntun 2.0′ projects inspection, and we are starting with the Ibadan zone. We are now at Challenge-Odo-Ona road which is a 12.5 Kilometer road and what we want to check is simply the progress on the project and the timelines for the outstanding works, which will determine the possible date for the completion, and thereafter His Excellency will decide on the commissioning.”

 

 

 

 

He further explained that the contractor’s commitment, value of work done, and quality of work are indicators of satisfaction. Currently, approximately 64 percent of the work has been completed, and with collective effort, the project should be fully completed by November.

 

 

 

 

Regarding the circular road, Prof. Sangodoyin revealed that the bridges and interchanges of the South-East segment, spanning 32 kilometers, will be finished by December 2023. Once completed, the circular road will alleviate traffic congestion in the city, boost the state’s economy, and enhance connectivity between different regions.

 

 

 

The construction of the Led Gantry along the Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo Airport Road is set to be completed by the end of September, while the Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo Monumental Park will be ready on or before November 2023.
