Abiodun, while addressing the congregation noted that “All on-going projects across the State will be completed because the people’s tax and resources have been committed to all the project, also if I doN’T not complete them, another government will come and abandon the project and it will become nothing but waste of resources of the people.”

Hence, we are reaching curating the public works departments to hasten the construction of these strategic roads in order to stimulate our local economy. We have numerated the township, rural and industrial roads that need urgent attention and in no distant future, you will see our works at your backyard. ”
