Residents commend Olorunda LGA over road grading 

Communities in Olorunda Local Government Area of Osun State have lauded the council Chairman, Hon. Mojeed Adekunle Kudayisi, for the ongoing grading of community roads across the LGA. 

Various roads in different communities in Olorunda LGA, including Ayekale, Olobedu, Oluomo, Akogun and Abidogun, Service, Ajisebiyawo, Ifelodun, Kojufoluwa, System, and Agunbelewo as well as Ilie Area Council were graded by Olorunda LGA. 

The Chairman, Zone 5, Ifelodun Community, Agunbelewo, Osogbo, Prince Hameed Oyegbade, said this in a statement on Saturday.

He commended Olorunda LGA for the grading of the roads.

Oyegbade said the roads in those communities were in deplorable conditions over the years to the extent that most of them were impassable, subjecting residents to untold hardship. 

He commended the authorities of Olorunda LGA for deeming it fit to grade the roads, saying it would enhance the socio-economic life of the people of the area with significant impact on their well-being. 

Oyegbade said: “This is the first time that our communities felt government impact. 

“In fact, this road grading by Olorunda LG is demand driven. 

“We wrote to the Chairman, Honourable Mojeed Adekunle Kudayisi, in which we demanded the grading of our road. 

“We are happy that the Chairman responded promptly.

“This is the beauty of the Local Government system, being the closest to the people at grassroots and it’s also part of the benefits of Local Government autonomy. 

“We are grateful to Olorunda LG for the grading of the roads in our communities.” 

Also, Community leaders, including Adedoyin Ayotunde, Vice Chairman of Ifelodun Community, Agunbelewo; and Hon. Dele Oluyole, Grace Lawal, and Alhaji Musbau Abiodun Ajisebiyawo, also expressed gratitude to Olorunda LGA for the gesture.
