Speaking at the project’s flag-off ceremony on Monday, Governor Aiyedatiwa warned against quoting the President out of context, noting that President Tinubu’s previous caution—made during a meeting with the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Rasheed Ladoja—only targeted flyovers built in low-traffic areas with no clear economic value.

Aiyedatiwa credited the President’s economic reforms for increasing financial allocations to the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, enabling infrastructure funding.
-
Explaining the rationale behind the project, the governor highlighted that the Oba Adesida axis serves as a critical commercial, administrative, and social artery in Akure, but has suffered from severe traffic congestion, rising vehicular movement, and accident risks due to rapid growth.
-
Describing the initiative as a core part of his urban renewal and infrastructure strategy, Aiyedatiwa stated that a careful evaluation was conducted before launching the project to protect citizen safety and boost economic productivity.
-
Finally, the governor directed the project contractors to strictly respect the approved timelines, design specifications, budget, and professional standards to deliver long-lasting value to the people of Ondo State.
