MAKINDE OPENS RECONSTRUCTED BODIJA MARKET ROAD
The Oyo State Governor Engr Seyi Makinde has commissioned the newly reconstructed 2-kilometre Bodija International Market Road, a modern Fire Service Building, and an ultramodern car park named after the renowned Ibadan/Yoruba warrior, Balogun Oderinlo, at the Bodija International Market in Ibadan North Local Government Area.
The Projects were funded by the Ibadan North Local Government under the leadership of Seun Olufade.
Governor Makinde described the projects as clear evidence that local government councils in the State are effectively discharging their constitutional responsibilities without interference. He noted that the infrastructure would boost commercial activities, improve the ease of doing business, and further strengthen the state's economy.
He also called on traders and residents of the market to continue supporting his administration and its vision for sustainable development.
The Governor assured them that more infrastructure projects would be facilitated in the market under the next administration if his party's governorship candidate is elected.
Earlier, the Chairman of Ibadan North Local Government, Seun Olufade, appreciated Governor Makinde for providing an enabling environment that allowed the council to successfully execute the projects.
He stated that the reconstructed road, ultramodern car park with shops, and modern fire service building would improve transportation, enhance public safety, increase commercial activities, and further position Bodija International Market as a leading commercial hub in Nigeria.
The commissioning ceremony was attended by the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Barr Bayo Lawal, members of the National and State Assemblies, top government officials, traditional leaders, market stakeholders, and other dignitaries.
