Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has reaffirmed his administration's dedication to building key infrastructure aimed at fostering economic growth and improving residents' lives. This commitment came during a meeting with leaders from the Redeemed Christian Church of God. He highlighted ongoing road projects in industrial areas as part of broader development efforts.
On December 15, 2025, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde welcomed a delegation from the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to his office in Ibadan. Led by Continental Overseer Pastor Adeola Mensah, the group conveyed greetings and prayers from RCCG General Overseer Pastor Enoch Adeboye. Makinde used the occasion to underscore his government's focus on infrastructure to drive economic progress and alleviate poverty.
Guided by principles of diligence and integrity, the administration plans to sustain its efforts through the end of Makinde's tenure. He noted that after linking major zones in his first term, the focus now shifts to inner roads. Contracts for road construction in the Oluyole Industrial Estate have been approved, responding directly to the delegation's request for better access there.
"Our resources are limited, so we commit to one project at a time. We avoid abandoning projects. This road has been awarded, and we will see it through to completion," Makinde assured. He also urged religious leaders to keep praying for the state's peace and development.
Pastor Mensah praised the visible improvements in Ibadan, stating, "We have noticed that all over Ibadan, the roads are good, the people are blessed, and the state is thriving under your leadership." The meeting included senior officials such as Secretary to the State Government Professor Olanike Adeyemo and Chief of Staff Otunba Segun Ogunwuyi.
This pledge aligns with Makinde's broader vision of connecting infrastructure to prosperity, emphasizing steady progress amid resource constraints.
