The Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) has commended the Ondo State Government for ensuring the development of infrastructure that can stand the test of time for the betterment of the residents of the state.
The SEC, which has embarked on inspection visits to monitor the construction of some projects in critical areas of the economy in the three senatorial districts of the state, has asked the government not to rest on its oars for a more lasting legacy.
Mallam Abubakar Habib, the Assistant Director, Monitoring and Evaluation in SEC, who led the team, stated this after the monitoring in Akure.
Abubakar said the exercise was aimed at verifying that the projects were fully executed to their specifications.
Abubakar commended the state government for the timely completion of the bridge over Ore, and the quality of work done in all the projects inspected.
He charged the government to expedite action on the ongoing construction of Teaching Hospital complexes in Ondo and Akure and dualization of Ikare municipal road.
Therefore, he promised that the commission will continue to help and cooperate with the state government for the development of more infrastructure.
The state Commissioner for Finance, Mr. Wale Akinterinwa, has explained that for decades, residents and travelers moving towards the four junction intersection in Ore, in Odigbo LGA of the state, have been gripped by some dire fears , either as drivers or passengers in the vehicle. .
Akinterinwa added that passers-by walking beside the road or crossing to the other side could be knocked down by oncoming vehicles, which he said the past government could not resolve.
He explained that the government embarked on the Ore Flyover for the benefits of the people of the state and the generations to come.
He said that the project reduced the rate of accidents to the minimum, boosted the economic activities of the state, and also to solve the traffic problems in the area.
The commissioner said the massive infrastructural development was one of the main political agendas in line with the REDEEMED Agenda of the administration led by Gov. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

Also, the state Commissioner for Infrastructure, Lands and Housing, Mr. Raimi Aminu, explained that adequate infrastructure development was sine-qua-non for the creation of sustainable industries and the development of entrepreneurship in every society.
Aminu stated that in the last five years, Gov. Akeredolu had changed the narratives of huge infrastructure deficit to critical sectors of the economy, saying that the three Senatorial Districts of the state had benefited from various life-changing projects.
Therefore, he promised the readiness of the government to continue to cooperate and associate all interested parties with the aim of developing the state and its people.
