PRESS RELEASE
ILAJE ELITE FORUM COMMENDS GOVERNOR AYEDATIWA FOR APPROVAL OF STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN ILAJE
The Ilaje Elite Forum (IEF) has expressed profound appreciation to the Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, for the approval of several critical infrastructure projects in Ilaje Local Government Area during the recent State Executive Council meeting presided over by him.
Speaking on behalf of members of the Forum, the Platform Administrator of Ilaje Elite Forum, Prince Ralph Oguntibeju, described the approvals as a bold demonstration of Governor Aiyedatiwa’s commitment to equitable development and inclusive governance across Ondo State.
Of particular significance is the approval for the canalisation of the 40-kilometre main canal from Ugbonla to Awoye, with a spur to Idi Ogba, a project expected to improve water transportation, boost economic activities, enhance connectivity, and stimulate socio-economic growth within the coastal communities of Ilaje.
The Forum also applauded the approval of the construction of concrete walkways in Obenla and Idiogba communities, as well as the Zion Pepe–Agerige Township Road, Bayo Phillips Road, Araromi Seaside Road, and selected roads in Igboegunrin Town. These projects, when completed, will significantly improve accessibility, ease movement of people and goods, and enhance the quality of life of residents.
Prince Oguntibeju noted that the approvals have further strengthened the confidence of the people of Ilaje in the administration of Governor Aiyedatiwa, adding that the projects will address longstanding infrastructural challenges and open up more opportunities for economic development in the riverine axis.
The Ilaje Elite Forum therefore extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Governor, members of the State Executive Council, and all stakeholders who contributed to making these landmark approvals a reality.
The Forum assures the Governor of the continued support and cooperation of the people of Ilaje as his administration continues to deliver impactful governance and sustainable development across Ondo State.
