Governor Seyi Makinde of the Pace Setter State (Oyo) has restated his administration’s commitment to the timely delivery of key infrastructure projects, following an inspection visit to the Nigerian Air Force base currently under construction in Ajia.
Speaking during the visit, the governor expressed satisfaction with the level of work done so far on the base and promised that the state government would expedite work on surrounding infrastructure to ensure smooth operations once the base becomes operational.
One of the major projects linked to the new base is the 21-kilometre Airport-Ajia-New Ife Express Road, which includes a spur to Amuloko. Makinde disclosed that all hydraulic structures on the road have been completed, and the remaining portion of the project is projected to be ready within six months.
In a further move to enhance access to the base, the government has approved the dualisation of the stretch between Ife Road Junction and the Air Force facility.
Governor Makinde also emphasized his administration’s vision of transforming the airport corridor into a thriving urban development zone. He maintained that efforts are ongoing to ensure this objective is realized before the end of his tenure.
