Federal lawmaker representing Ibadan North Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Folajimi Oyekunle DON, has flagged off the reconstruction of the long-dilapidated Oni-lane Road in Ward 3, assuring constituents of more developmental projects across the constituency.
The road project is the second road intervention being undertaken by the lawmaker in less than eight months in office.
The Oni-lane Road, which has remained in a deplorable condition for several years, is expected to ease movement for motorists and residents, improve accessibility and boost economic activities in the area upon completion.

Speaking with journalists during the flag-off ceremony, Oyekunle said his focus remained on delivering tangible dividends of democracy to the people who elected him.
“I was sent to represent the people, and my primary responsibility is to ensure that dividends of democracy are brought back to the constituency. I will not stop bringing development to our people,” he said.
The lawmaker recalled that during his campaign and engagements with residents of Ward 3, the poor condition of Oni-lane Road was one of the major concerns raised by the people.
He said he had assured the residents that their concerns would receive prompt attention, expressing gratitude that the promise had now become a reality.
“This is one of the issues the people raised during my campaign in Ward 3. I promised them that I would respond, and today, to the glory of God, we are here to make that promise visible,” Oyekunle said.
According to him, the flag-off of the road reconstruction demonstrates his commitment to responding to the genuine needs of constituents through practical interventions.
Oyekunle stressed that the Oni-lane Road project was only the beginning, disclosing that more road reconstruction projects and other interventions would be undertaken in different parts of Ibadan North Federal Constituency.
“This is just a tip of the many road reconstruction projects that will be done. We are not stopping here. There are still many areas where our people need government intervention, and we will continue to do our best to bring development to them,” he added.
The reconstruction is expected to provide relief to residents and motorists who have endured years of poor road conditions, while also improving commercial and social activities within the community.
The project adds to the growing list of constituency interventions being championed by Oyekunle since his assumption of office, with the lawmaker reiterating that his priority is to deliver practical and measurable benefits to the people.
He also appealed to constituents to continue to support the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) at the forthcoming general election, urging them to vote for the party to ensure the continuity and consolidation of ongoing developmental projects and programmes across Ibadan North Federal Constituency.
