Osun government disputes claim on failed road project
The Osun State Government has refuted claims that a failed road shown in a recent publication was constructed under the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke. Officials clarified that the road in question was built during the tenure of former Governor Gboyega Oyetola, not by the current administration. The government described the publication as “fake news” and accused the opposition of attempting to shift blame. Bashiru Bello, Permanent Secretary of the Osun State Ministry of Works, urged residents to verify the facts independently.
