Makinde says Ibadan dry port project will come on stream soon

....Inspects Iseyin LAUTECH campus, Circular Road, others

Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has said that the Ibadan dry port project may come on stream quicker than expected, as the President Bola Tinubu-led administration understands “the benefits of developing the economic value chain.”

He said the dry port project would be beneficial, as his administration intends to collaborate with the Federal Government more than ever before.

Makinde gave the promise, at the weekend, during the inspection of the Ibadan Inland Dry Port, the College of Agriculture and Renewable Energy in Iseyin, a campus of the institution; the Engineer Lere Adigun Housing Estate in Basorun, Ibadan and Ibadan Circular Road.

According to the Governor, the state has made good progress with regards to the projects.

He said his administration had been creating opportunities through infrastructure building and other key developments that have attracted investors.

He, therefore, urged youths to key into the opportunities by contributing and getting the rewards, rather than leaving the country for greener pastures.

Makinde said: “So far, so good, there is still a lot of work to be done but we are making a good progress. You have seen it as well.”

“We were on that campus (LAUTECH Campus, Iseyin) before the election and we have seen between then and now that a lot of progress has been made. And even here (Ibadan Circular Road), we have interest-investors coming around to say, look, what exactly are we projecting in terms of the opportunities in Oyo State."

“To the people, we have many opportunities around here, especially for our young folks. They should not ‘japa’ because if they are hardworking, they can contribute and get their rewards."

“So, I will say we are creating opportunities across the spectrum and people are paying attention to what we are doing.”
