According to him, the priority project of the administration was the national airport, which is undergoing construction and had reached an advanced stage.
“Since Aregbesola emerged as the governor of Osun State and even now that he is preparing to be inaugurated on November 27 for his second term tenure, his mindset has been to build new Osun. That’s why he does not rest on his oars in embarking on developmental projects as well as social infrastructure in the state,”Akerele stressed.
