The Federal Government, under President Bola Tinubu is set to officially flag off the landmark road project on Monday, August 24, 2026.
Oba Ladoja in a statement, described the project as a significant infrastructural development that would further enhance connectivity, promote economic activities and ease transportation for residents, motorists and other road users.
Oba Ladoja expressed his appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government for giving attention to the strategic Ibadan–Ijebu Ode Road, noting that the concrete dualisation project would bring lasting benefits to the people of Ibadanland and neighbouring communities.
The revered monarch also lauded the Minister of Works, David Umahi, for his commitment and dedication to the implementation of critical road infrastructure projects across the country.
According to the Olubadan, the Ibadan–Ijebu Ode Road remains a major economic and transportation corridor linking Oyo State and other parts of the South-West, making its dualisation an important intervention for regional development.
