GOV. Ademola Adeleke of Osun, on Wednesday, restate his pledge not to abandon any project inherited from his predecessor.
Adeleke said this at the inauguration of the dualised Roundabout-Testing Ground-Ilesha Garage Road, started by former Gov. Rauf Aregbesola.
The governor said at the inception of his administration, he promised God and the people of Osun that no project inherited from his predecessors would be abandoned.
“It is my considered view that public projects are public assets which must not be wasted on the altar of political vendetta.
“I followed my conviction by directing my team to compile a list of all abandoned projects and submit a plan of completion.
“Based on the plan of action, our administration has completed several projects across the sectors.
“In under 100 days, we completed the Osogbo – Ikirun road dualisation with full solar street lights.
“We expanded the inherited reconstruction of Iwo – Osogbo road to include dualisation of a major internal road inside Iwo.
“We completed several abandoned projects inside Osun State University including the one at Isale Osun which was neglected for almost 11 years,” he said
Adeleke commended former Gov. Rauf Aregbesola whose administration started the road project inaugurated.
He said the previous government abandoned the project, “but today, Aregbesola will be happy at the final completion of the project he started.”
Gov. Seyi Makinde of Oyo, who was invited to inaugurate the project, equally commended Adeleke for the steps taken to complete abandoned projects into state.
“Adeleke has done something unusual by completing projects started by administrations before him without considering or thinking that he will not be credited for the projects.
“I can’t stop thanking my brother (Adeleke) for breaking out from the mode of usual politicians and doing something unusual.
“And because of this, I can only encourage you, and I promise you my support in the battles ahead,” the Oyo State governor said. (NAN)
