As the dry season approaches, the Governor of Osun State, Adegboyega Oyetola has reaffirmed his commitment to the rehabilitation of more rural roads.
A statement by his Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, noted that the governor disclosed this during an edition of rural engagement meeting held at Sekona, Alajue, Olodan and other villages in Ede South Local Government.
He said the motive is to ease the movement of rural dwellers, who are predominantly farmers, to transport farm produce.
“Oyetola, represented by his Special Adviser on Civic Engagement, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, said his administration was aware that the rural dwellers were far from the centre of governance.
“If more rural roads are attended to, the connection between villages and cities will be strong and as such the state will be contributing to the achievement of sustainable cities and communities, which is the 11th goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”
