The Oyo State Roads Maintenance Agency, OYSROMA, has commenced rehabilitation of roads, including Dugbe and Adeoyo roads, in Ibadan, the state capital, through its special intervention project.
The Chairman, OYSROMA, Ogunlade Soladoye, who visited the roads at Dugbe and Adeoyo on Friday, said that the agency would not relent in fulfilling its mandate to rid the state of potholes and bad roads.
Soladoye noted that the agency was working in collaboration with stakeholders, especially Local Government Area Authorities, to ensure safe and secured roads in the state.
He commended the Oyo State Government, under Governor Seyi Makinde, for introducing the intervention project and for the prompt release of funds to enable the performance optimally.
While on an inspection of the Ibadan North-West and Ibadan North Local Government Area roads, Soladoye assured residents of the agency’s intervention in all deplorable roads in the state.
In another development, the Oyo State Government has begun the training of 72 desk officers who handle pensions and gratuities matters across Ministries, Departments and Agencies on “Efficient and Effective Pensions and Gratuities Administration in Oyo State public/civil service”.
The State Commissioner for Establishments and Training, Alhaji ‘Siju Lawal, said the training is borne out of the Ministry’s desire to modernise its administration of pensions and gratuities through the digital system, to jettison the old system of analogue which also causes delay and loss of documents, among other factors.
He urged the participants to discharge their duties diligently and be humane in their interaction with retiring and retired officers.
Lawal admonished the officers to always process all documents on time, saying no document should overstay on their table for more than two working days and to keep retired/retiring officers abreast of the next process.
