Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has announced plans to dualise the road stretching from Ajia Junction on Ife Road to the Nigerian Air Force Base in Ajia. This move is part of the state's dedicated efforts to upgrade critical infrastructure.
During a recent on-the-spot assessment of the Nigerian Air Force Base project, Governor Makinde expressed satisfaction with the progress made. Accompanied by Kolade Ademuwagun, Air Vice Marshal and Air Officer Commanding, Logistics Command, Nigerian Air Force, Ikeja, and other officers, the governor noted that the road linking the Air Force Base to the Airport Road would be completed as a single carriage.
Addressing journalists during the inspection, Governor Makinde stated, "We are here to check the infrastructure and the level of readiness for the Air Force Base to become operational. We have taken some far-reaching decisions today. From Ife Road junction to the base will be dualised. We will probably go ahead and kick-start that immediately. From the base to the Airport Road will be a single carriage."
The Nigerian Air Force Base project is expected to be ready for inauguration at the end of May and early June to coincide with the Nigerian Air Force Anniversary. When asked about the timeline for the road completion, Governor Makinde said, “I will give them about six months to complete it. Hydraulic structures are done, it is just to complete the stone base and put asphalt on it.”
The governor was accompanied on the inspection by William Akin-Funmilayo, the Commissioner for Lands, Housing and Urban Development; Bayo Lawal, Senior Executive Assistant to the Governor on General Duties and other Government functionaries.
