Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, on Thursday, commissioned a 16.75Km Akure-Idanre road with a spur to Oke-Iya and Igisogba roads within the Idanre Local Government Area of the state, as part of activities marking his second term in office.
Akeredolu who described the project as novel said no previous administration has ever embarked on the construction of the road, saying there has only been a single road between Akure and Idanre from time immemorial.
While noting that the road is a life-impacting project, the Governor said: “to put the records straight, what has transformed into a world-class infrastructure before our very eyes today used to be a footpath between Akure and Idanre, accessible only during the dry seasons.”
