Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke of has congratulated former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola on his appointment as Minister of Transport.
This is just as he directed the state Commissioner for Transport to prepare a plan of action to rehabilitate railway tracks across the state.
In a statement by Governor’s Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke described Oyetola’s appointment as a positive development for Osun, urging the former Governor to use his office to support the growth and development of the state.
While praying for a successful tenure for Mr. Oyetola as minister, the Governor called for developmental partnership between the state and the Federal Government.
He said he had directed the Commissioner for Transport to draw up a plan for the rehabilitation of the railway track from Ibadan end to Osun border with Kwara state 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 with connection to 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.”
Governor Adeleke urged the new Transportation minister to join the big dream of the administration in the state, especially as the railway is under his portfolio, and Osun ready for partnership.
