Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has expressed satisfaction with the state of federal road projects executed by Oyo State Government, assuring the state of adequate reimbursement.
The Minister who is also the Coordinator of the Committee for Re-Imbursement of federal projects executed by states in the South-West, gave the assurance Friday while inspecting some federal projects executed by the Oyo State Government.
Inspecting the projects in company of the State Governor, Sen. Abiola Ajimobi, Amaechi visited the Agodi Gardens.
The delegation had also inspected the newly dualised New Garage/Odo Oba Elewe/Apata road; Azeez Arisekola road; Molete/Oke Ado/Queens Cinema road and Mokola/Sango/Ojoo road, which were federal roads constructed by the state.
Amaechi said the Committee on Re-Imbursement of funds spent on federal projects by states, headed by the Minister for Works, Power and Housing, Mr. Raji Fashola, was satisfied with the quality of work done on the inspected projects.
He said, "I am impressed. I am satisfied with the projects despite the fact that the state government suffered paucity of funds."
The minister disclosed that other federal projects spread across the state will also be inspected by a team of federal engineers, adding that the report submitted by the engineers would receive adequate attention of the FG, with a view to reimbursing the state.
Welcoming the minister, Governor Ajimobi said he was hopeful that the FG would in the earliest possible time, reimburse the state so that other developmental projects lined up for the benefit of the people of the State would get the required attention.
Ajimobi said, "The Federal government that we have now is a government of Change. Change for the better; change for improvement. And what you are seeing around now is the change that we require.
“We do hope that the federal government will quickly reimburse us to complement our efforts, so that our people will benefit from the change policy," he said
