Ibadan Dry Port Project To Be Completed Sooner Than Expected- Makinde

The governor of Oyo state, Seyi Makinde has assured that the Ibadan dry port project may come on stream quicker than expected.

According to a statement issued on Sunday by Sulaimon Olanrewaju, the governor’s spokesperson, Makinde spoke during the inspection of ongoing projects across the state.

The project sites visited include; Ibadan inland dry port; the College of Agriculture and Renewable Energy, Iseyin; a campus at the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso; the Engineer Lere Adigun Housing Estate, Basorun; and the Ibadan circular road.

Speaking on the dry port, Makinde said the project will soon be completed and operations would begin because the present leadership of the country under President Bola Tinubu, understands “the benefits of developing the economic value chain.”

He also said his administration will collaborate with the federal government, adding that the installation of the Tinubu leadership would not affect the progress of the project.

The dry port has been one of the major projects in the current administration in Oyo, and has lingered for long.

“I think the change of government is even positive for Oyo state because we have a new administration at the federal level that understands what it is to develop the economic value chain,” Makinde said.
