Hon. Abiola Makinde, the lawmaker representing Ondo East/West Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has initiated the construction of four ultra-modern motor parks in Ondo State. The foundation-laying ceremony for these millennium motor parks, which are part of Makinde’s constituency projects, took place in strategic locations including Ife Garage, Ondo town, Bolorunduro (the administrative headquarters of Ondo East), and Oka and Akure motor parks in Ondo town.
During the ceremony, Hon. Makinde highlighted that the construction of these motor parks is aimed at enhancing the transportation system within Ondo State while contributing to the aesthetic and environmental development of Ondo Kingdom. He emphasized that the projects, once completed, will not only improve transportation but also create job opportunities and provide a conducive business environment for the residents of his constituency.
Makinde further noted that this initiative is part of his broader efforts to deliver impactful projects to his constituency since assuming office. His achievements include the provision of instructional materials for students, scholarships for higher education, employment opportunities for youths, and sponsorship of graduates for studies abroad. He has also been involved in business empowerment programs, free healthcare services for the elderly, distribution of food and clothing to those in need, provision of palliatives, and facilitation of interest-free loans for market women and artisans.
The Managing Director and CEO of Old Field Nigeria Limited, Chief Oluseyi Omotoso, who is the contractor for the motor park projects, assured that the projects will be completed on time and in accordance with the specified standards. He praised Hon. Makinde for his commitment to the development of the constituency and urged the community to support and maintain the projects.
The representative of the Nigeria Building and Road Research Institute (NIBRRI), Mr. Chukwuma (represented by Tosin Akinmade), also commended Makinde for his initiatives and generous contributions to the project, including the donation of interlock materials to expedite construction.
Community leaders, including the Chairman of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in Ife Motor Park, Comrade Abija, and other prominent figures, praised Hon. Makinde for his dedication to fulfilling his promises and contributing to the economic and social development of Ondo city.
The construction of these motor parks is expected to significantly boost the aesthetics and economic activities in Ondo, further enhancing Hon. Makinde’s legacy as a dedicated representative of the Ondo East/West Federal Constituency.
