Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, has declared that the durability of urban renewal projects his administration embarked on would serve the state for the next 25 to 30 years.

He said this at the Christmas Carol Service and Nine Lessons, organized by the state government, held at the Remembrance Arcade, Agodi, Ibadan. 

The governor said the road upgrading projects which would soon be extended to other zones of the state, would stand the test of time that future administrations would not need to include them in their budgets.

Governor Makinde while emphasizing the need for thanksgiving in every situation, appreciated religious leaders for interceding through prayers, which according to him gave Oyo state strength and victory over turbulent 2024.

In his word of exhortation, Bishop Wale Oke said Jesus’ birth indicated God sent light to the world to dispel darkness caused by iniquities and offer humanity a path to redemption and salvation.

Invited fathers of faith from different denominations offered special prayers for Governor Makinde, his family and the state. 

The service was thrilled with Bible readings, melodious song presentations, and a Christmas fireworks display, which illuminated the night sky with a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns.
