The Governor explained that the project will be the first motorway in Nigeria, noting that.“the circular road will be the very first motorway in Nigeria.
“With the circular road, we are redefining the city limit, not just for Ibadan, but for the majority of the local governments around Ibadan,” he said.
The Makinde administration had promised to complete the first phase of the project comprising the 32.2km East Wing and 36.7km North-East Wing of the project from Badeku Village to Akinyele Local Government.
The duo of Governor Makinde and Oba Ladoja were accompanied by the Senior Executive Assistant (General Administration) to the Governor, Chief Bayo Lawal, among other dignitaries.
