Wike to Commission, Flag-Off Projects in Ibadan

The Oyo State government will Friday resume another round of commissioning and flag-off of three strategic projects as Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State is expected in the state.

A statement on Thursday, by the Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun, said the projects billed to be commissioned include the Dr. Omololu Olunloyo Airport road and the Aviation Fuel Tank Depot. 

Also to be flagged-off is the Dr. Omololu Olunloyo Park in Ibadan.

Olatubosun said the commissioning and flag-off of the three projects will be performed by Governor Nyesom Wike, stating that the projects are part of the state government’s quest to boost its economy and create accessible roads in the state.

He added that while the airport road and the park were executed by Kopek Construction company, the Aviation Fuel Tank was in collaboration with Bovas and Company Limited, noting that the Park project on completion will create an additional economic impact in the State.

He said, “This is another opportunity coming to Oyo State, under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde. As we all know, his administration has focused on even distribution of infrastructure networks in Oyo State.”

He maintained that the soon-to-be commissioned projects will also be beneficial to residents of the airport road, insisting that the commissioning is expected to boost the domestic economy as well as industrialization in the state.
