Adeola Pledges Rural Development, Announces 13 Roads, Modern Market for Ado-Odo/Ota

The All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Ogun State, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi, has identified rural development as a major component of his development agenda for the state, promising to extend infrastructure and other developmental projects to rural communities.

Adeola made this known during the continuation of his statewide stakeholders’ town hall meeting in Ota, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area, where he announced plans to commence the construction and asphalting of 13 roads as well as the development of a modern market at Oja Ota.

Speaking while responding to requests from community leaders and stakeholders, the senator noted that although several parts of Ogun State are urban and semi-urban, a significant number of residents live in rural communities where poor road networks remain a major challenge.

He disclosed plans to provide a road grader to support the grading and maintenance of rural roads, adding that he would consider making similar equipment available across the 20 local government areas under his administration.

Among the 13 roads scheduled for construction and asphalting in Ado-Odo/Ota are Captain Davies Road, Ejila Awori; Paramole Alago Road; sections along Lusada-Alapoti Road; and Bells-Pako-Adefarasin Road, Ota.

He also announced plans for an ultra-modern market at Oja Ota, stressing that his development interventions as senator had established a foundation that would be expanded upon if elected governor.

Adeola further promised that Ado-Odo/Ota would receive a substantial allocation from the 150 transformers he intends to distribute as part of his forthcoming empowerment programme.

He assured stakeholders that the local government, which he noted has a population comparable to several other local governments combined, would receive adequate attention in infrastructure development and appointments.

The APC governorship candidate urged residents to support all APC candidates in the forthcoming elections, emphasising the importance of sustained development across the state.

Earlier, the Zonal Chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC) in Ado-Odo/Ota, Chief Abdulrasaq Onaolapo, commended Adeola for his development interventions in the local government.

He listed 35 completed roads, 10 Primary Healthcare Centres and an Intensive Care Unit among the projects facilitated by the senator, while noting that the area’s growing population requires additional infrastructure, including a grader for rural road maintenance.

Other stakeholders who commended the senator included the Deputy Governor of Ogun State, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele; the Olota of Ota, Oba Professor Abdulkabir Adeyemi; and Senator Akin Odunsi.

They expressed appreciation for the senator’s development interventions and pledged support for him and other APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.

The senator was accompanied by his wife, Chief Mrs. Temitope Adeola; the APC Deputy Governorship Candidate, Alhaja Kudirat Abiodun Balogun; Barrister Biyi Otegbeye; Apostle Abiodun Sanyaolu, Vice Chairman of the Ogun State APC Presidential and Governorship Campaign Council; Hon. Akeem Amosun; and Hon. Laolu Olabimtan, among other party leaders and government officials.

A similar stakeholders’ meeting was also held in Idiroko, Ipokia Local Government Area, where residents made further requests for infrastructure while acknowledging projects already facilitated by the senator across different sectors.
