Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has restated his administration’s determination to sustain the development of Ikirunland.
Governor Adeleke stated this on Friday during a condolence visit to the families of the late head of Ikirun princes, Dr Ismahil Adeyemi; the Asiwaju of Ikirun land, DIG Lawal Kasali; and the Chief Imam of Ikirun land, Sheikh Yunus Balogun.
According to a statement by the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, Adeleke, while speaking with the deceased families, described his love for Ikirun land as an extension of his desire to spread development and improve the livelihood of all citizens and residents of Osun state.
“I thank the Eesa, the Akinrun in Council, families and residents for this warm welcome. I am elated that our intervention restored the peace of Ikirun land and brought development to the town. Our government is sensitive to the question of balance and equity in the implementation of projects and programmes.
“I am glad that in my records, I did not take the road through the back door but through the major expressway. We are determined to complete the dualisation of the Osogbo-Ikirun-Okuku- Kwara border road. I am glad I recognised Ikirun and accorded the town its due honour, pride and respect”, the governor was quoted as saying.
Adeleke ordered the Ministry of Works to assess the state of the Akirun palace, the Inisha junction road and prepare programmes for rehabilitation, directing further that the ministry should also look into the structural and drainage problems facing the Ikirun Central Mosque with a view towards rehabilitation.
