Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN) CON, has described the approval of the establishment of a deep sea port in Ondo state as a path to economic prosperity for the state and it’s people.
According to a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, he described how his administration prioritized the actualization of the project and the economic plus physical transformation that will be witnessed in the state with the establishment of the sea port.
“the Port Ondo is one of the most important projects of this administration. We are determined and committed to actualising this project that will set our state on the path of economic prosperity. Our dream for this port of Ondo is to serve as a conduit for our goods, agricultural produce and very soon, our bitumen.”
“It is the goal of this administration to ensure that the potential of Ondo State is maximised and that all necessary infrastructure required to make this a reality is put in place to achieve this.”
Akeredolu appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari and other members of the Federal Executive Council for their roles in the approval and described the deep sea port as a parting gift from the Buhari administration.
“we thank the minister of Transportation, Hon. Mu’azu Jaji Sambo, for his interventions and commitment. Our state is very grateful for this yeoman service. History will be kind to him. We equally noted with candour, the role of the Minister of State for Transportation, our own, Prince Ademola Adegoroye. Your impactful struggles and efforts have started yielding enduring fruit of development. Indeed, you have proven to be a true representative of your people. Your doggedness is admirable.”
“we also appreciate everyone who has, one way or the other, contributed to the process of getting this approval. It is just a phase. We expect that this development will renew our vigour and drive our passion to deliver the Port Ondo project.”
“like we say, we are planting a tree under which shade we may not rest. Nevertheless, it is a worthy cause for the generation yet unborn. We are committed to any effort that targets the good of the next generation.”
