Gov Adeleke Congratulates Oyetola On His Appointment As Transportation Minister
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun state has congratulated his immediate predecessor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola on his appointment as Transportation Minister by President Bola Tinubu while directing the state Commissioner for Transport to prepare a plan of action to rehabilitate railway tracks across Osun state.
In a statement issued in Osogbo on Thursday, and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his Special Adviser, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke described Oyetola’s appointment as a positive development for Osun state, urging the former governor to use his good offices to support the growth and development of the state.
‘ I congratulate my brother, Mr. Oyetola. We congratulate him and his family on this new national assignment. As I have always extended hands of fellowship to him, I am doing the same now as we have a people to support and develop.
Aside from offering our support to Mr. Oyetola during the confirmation hearing process, I am doing the same now by offering our prayers for a successful tenure. I call for developmental partnership between the state and the Federal Government.
I am also directing the Commissioner for Transport to draw up a plan for the rehabilitation of the railway track from Ibadan end to Osun’s boundary with Kwara state. We hope to ensure the track is in good shape as the railway is now under concurrent legislative list.
We plan for a railroad link to the national track line in the near future. Such a short railroad may originate from Ijeshaland to link the national line. Another from each of the two senatorial districts, serving the agricultural haulage in connection with our oncoming cargo airport.
My team is also tinkering with the idea of a circular metro railway cycling Osun state. This will be strictly private sector driven. The idea is to transform Osun into a deeply economically connected state.
I invite the new Transportation minister to join this big dream of mine, especially as the railway is under his portfolio. Osun is ready for partnership’ the statement said- Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
