Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has directed the timely completion of the mega projects ongoing at Ile Ife, Iwo, Osogbo, Ikirun and several other towns, warning that governance tempo must be sustained in the best interest of the people.

A statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, said Adeleke spoke Sunday night at a review meeting with key officials supervising ongoing projects across major towns such as Ila Orangun, Iwo, Ile Ife, Ilesa, Osogbo, Ikirun, among others.

Adeleke lauded the work of the team handling the projects, urging them to sustain the tempo and deliver on the projects without distractions

“I have been carrying out secret supervisions of many ongoing projects. I am impressed with the performance of our team. I saw their sleepless nights.

“We must sustain the tempo and deliver on these projects without distractions. I want to see Ila Orangun people driving on their new dual carriageway. I want to see Ile Ife, our cradle emerging as a brand new city. Iwo people are feeling the wave of modernisation already.

“Osogbo is a great story already. But we must not rest. We should not give our detractors any breathing space. Our answers to their shenanigans should be more delivery of democratic dividends. We should not allow them to stop the good work.

“So I hereby direct my team to continue to be up and doing. All contractors are directed to double up. Osun people have strong faith in us. We won’t allow any contractor to dash or slow down the hope of our people”, the statement quoted the governor as saying.
