The Osun State Governor, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola has approved the release of funds to mobilise contractors back to project sites.
Some of the contractors mobilized are RATCON & Sammnya Construction Companies to the long stretch of the Gbongan – Ode Omu – Akoda & Osogbo – Ikirun – Ila Odo Kwara boundary expressway.
In an assessment tour made by the State Ministry of Works and Transport officials led by its Supervisor, Mr. Remi Omowaiye, an engineer, he acknowledged that due to paucity of funds which has incapacitated the completion of project in record time as envisioned the government has engaged the contractors in a fruitful discussion with the assurance of maintaining the standard of quality Osun roads and sticking to the road design.
