The Oyo State Commissioner for Public Works and Transport, Professor Daud Kehinde Sangodoyin has stated that some projects embarked upon by the Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration would be commissioned in February 2021.
Sandodoyin specifically mentioned that the Iseyin-Moniya road and other projects embarked currently under 80 per cent and above completion would be completed and commissioned by February 2021.
The State Government assured members of the public that other on-going infrastructural development projects in the state presently at near completion stages would also be completed and commissioned in the next three months.
According to him, the time has called for a united front by all staff of the ministry so as to get works done as expected by the people and the government.
He said, “My target with His Excellency, the governor of Oyo State, Engr. Seyi Makinde before coming here is for all on-going projects in the State presently at 80 per cent-90 per cent completion level to be completed and commissioned within the next 3-4 months because all the contractors have been well mobilised. Ttherefore, there should be no reason for any delay in the completion of the projects. For instance, the 65KM Moniya/Iseyin road project will be commissioned by February 2021, while other projects close to completion in the state will also be commissioned in the next three or four months to come”.
Sangodoyin, therefore, charged the staff of the Ministry to key into Governor Makinde’s developmental agenda by working diligently in the discharge of their duties adding that the government was out to serve the people and the service could only be achieved by joining hands to work as one family.
On the maintenance culture of the people towards public facilities, Sangodoyin charged members of the public to be patriotic towards public properties as it obtained in other climes and always have a sense of belonging, which would enable them to see the public properties as their own and maintain them as such.
“The public properties that are out there are put up to ease the living conditions of the public. The public should maintain them appropriately to enable the government to channel its resources towards other areas needed. We’ll enforce the use of government properties adequately. The public should also know that all these properties are put in place with the taxpayer’s money. Anyone that vandalises them will go to jail. I, therefore, advise the public to be patriotic towards public properties and maintain them accordingly”, he explained.
