President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said other states in the country should follow the exemplary leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State.
He said this while commissioning the 76.7-kilometer Adebayo Alao-Akala Memorial Expressway in the state on Thursday.
“Most importantly, you have shown leadership; you have shown inclusivism by bringing the elder statesman, General Popoola under your banner. You have done a great deal of service to this nation. “A new road such as the one we are about to commission has the potential to open up new areas of economic activities; increase agricultural production and accelerate urbanization process. Roads constructed to support commerce and agriculture inevitably enhances the standard of living of people they serve.
“The economic agenda of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is rooted in supporting each state of the federation in achieving its objectives and fulfilling our promises to the Nation. Oyo State owns a pivotal role in our nation’s economy and will always remain a top priority in our efforts to stabilize and promote unity and peace across the nation.”
