Knowing that for tourism to contribute to the economic growth of a state, there is need for a deliberate effort to invest and develop infrastructure key to activate easy access to tourism sites and as such the governor, however said he had embarked on the rehabilitation and construction of roads across the state.

“To that end, Osun people should expect more robust delivery of services as well as new initiatives,” he said.
