Governor Adeleke Focuses on Infrastructure Development Amid Political Distractions
Osun State Governor Pushes Forward with Road Dualization Projects
Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his commitment to infrastructure development despite what he describes as “unsubstantiated statements” from political opponents. The governor’s remarks came as he prepares to launch two major road projects in the state.
Key Infrastructure Projects Moving Forward
Governor Adeleke announced plans to flag off the dualization of Ila Orangun township road and the second phase of the Osogbo-Ikirun-Ila Odo Kwara State Boundary road project. These initiatives form part of his administration’s broader infrastructure upgrade program across Osun State.
“The said politician and few others have said all sorts of things which are at variance with the reality and facts of our achievements in the infrastructure sector across Osun state,” Governor Adeleke stated during a meeting with Osun elders. “These misrepresentations and misinformation have only strengthened my resolve to push ahead with the all-inclusive infrastructure upgrade and delivery of good governance in our dear state.”
Administration Achievements Recognized
The governor highlighted his administration’s accomplishments, noting recognition from both local and international organizations. He cited multiple reports from federal agencies and non-governmental groups that have rated Osun State highly across various development indices.
Governor Adeleke listed several areas where the state has excelled, including:
- Infrastructure revolution
- Health sector excellence
- Educational performance improvements
- Digital economy innovation
- Agricultural mechanization
- Sports sector reforms
- Business sector enhancement
- Water sector upgrades
- Artisanal cooperative empowerment
Financial Transparency and Accountability
The governor also pointed to Osun State’s strong performance in fiscal transparency, with the state ranking fifth nationally in the 2025 first quarter transparency index among Nigeria’s 36 states.
“Our administration is transparent, accountable, and compliant with due process requirements,” Governor Adeleke emphasized. “Our critics are worried by our extraordinary performance within less than three years, hence their resorts to name calling, blackmail and libelous allegations.”
Upcoming Project Launches
The governor announced that he would personally oversee the commencement of two major road projects in the coming week:
- The dualization of Ila Orangun township road
- The second phase of the Osogbo-Ikirun-Okuku highway dualization
These projects will benefit residents of Ila Orangun, Ifelodun, and Odo Otin local government areas, demonstrating the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development across the state.

Governor Adeleke reiterated his determination to remain focused on governance despite political distractions. “Myself and my team remain focussed and undistracted,” he stated. “I commend Osun people for their support and unwavering commitment to good governance as represented by our government.”
