Akinlosotu said in a statement made available in Akure, the Ondo State capital, on Saturday that “these projects will contribute majorly to the transformation of the state across various sectors of the economy and indicative of the development that the state will witness in the next four years”.

The former commissioner said, “Looking at the recent approvals in addition to the various programmes, projects and policies that the governor had embarked upon across different sectors since he assumed office in February and the plans for the tenure as contained in the electoral promises, our people can be doubly sure of all round development in the Sunshine State in the next four years”.

According to him, “construction and dualisation of Akure-Idanre Road will ease transportation to and from the rock city. I hail the governor for the approval which speaks volumes of his interest in the development and promotion of the tourism potentials in Idanre and indeed all parts of the state.

“It will also boost movement of persons and goods, particularly agricultural and cash crops including cocoa from Idanre. The governor’s nod for the construction and dualisation of the road is a welcome and praiseworthy development,” the former commissioner said.

Akinlosotu lauded the Aiyedatiwa administration’s stance on ensuring affordable and qualitative housing scheme for the state, adding that the approval for construction of 32 terraced four-bedroom apartments at Alagbaka, Akure, was a step in the direction.

He also praised the EXCO approval targeted at boosting commercial activities and residents’ economy  which he said the nod for the construction of Omuro International Market at Ode-Ugbo represents.

He added that approval for the construction of concrete sedimentation tank at Aboto and construction of Concrete landing walkways in various riverine communities were noteworthy and would improve quality of lives of residents of the riverine areas.

According to Akinlosotu, the approvals for construction of buildings and renovation of secondary schools and technical colleges was in fulfilment of Aiyedatiwa’s electoral promises to transform education in the state by ensuring pupils study under conducive environment in schools which are as well equipped with state of the art equipment”.
