Residents commend Olorunda LG over road grading

By Ismail Azeez

Residents of communities in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State have lauded the council chairman, Hon. Mojeed Adekunle Kudayisi, for the ongoing grading of community roads across the area.

Several roads across communities under Olorunda LG, including Ayekale, Olobedu, Oluomo, Akogun, Abidogun, Service, Ajisebiyawo, Ifelodun, Kojufoluwa, System, Agunbelewo, as well as Ilie Area Council, have been graded.

The Chairman of Zone 5, Ifelodun Community, Agunbelewo, Osogbo, Prince Hameed Oyegbade, in a statement on Saturday, commended the council for the intervention.

Oyegbade said the roads in the communities had been in deplorable condition for years, with many becoming impassable and subjecting residents to hardship.

He commended the Olorunda LG authorities for grading the roads, noting that the intervention would enhance the socio-economic life of the people and positively impact their well-being.

Oyegbade said, “This is the first time our communities are feeling government impact. The road grading by Olorunda LG is demand-driven. We wrote to the Chairman, Hon. Mojeed Adekunle Kudayisi, requesting the grading of our roads, and we are pleased that he responded promptly.

“This is the beauty of the local government system as the closest tier of government to the grassroots. It is also part of the benefits of local government autonomy. We are grateful to Olorunda LG for the grading of roads in our communities.”

Also, community leaders, including Mr. Adedoyin Ayotunde, Vice Chairman of Ifelodun Community, Agunbelewo; Hon. Dele Oluyole; Mrs. Grace Lawal; and Alhaji Musbau Abiodun Ajisebiyawo, expressed gratitude to the council for the gesture.
