Abdulsalam  posits that areas like Olufoam, Gaga  and Oke-ogba in akure the state capital  will be given urgent attention  as soon  as the dry period set-in for the road construction.



The Commissioner  informs that Governor Oluwarotimi  Akeredolu  specifically  noted  that  the areas  mentioned aboved as needed  government attention due to bad road networks  in the areas,   thick population  of citizenry  living in the areas and also to make development  getting to the people of the state.



The Commissioner  stated that, though there is paucity  of funds in coffers of the state government,  yet will not relent at making development  getting  to the people.




According  to him, the  ministry  has been going round the state to collate data of all roads across the whole  eighteen  (18) local government  areas of the state that needed  government  attention,  while also calling on the Federal government  to also assist at giving the Federal roads in the state that are in state of disrepair  urgent attention.
