Former Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has pledged to complete the abandoned St. Claire’s Rondo, Offa-Ikotun Road after four years of abandonment, neglect by the Kwara State Government.
Saraki made the pledge over the weekend while meeting with stakeholders across Ibolo Kingdom as part of his consultation visits to major traditional rulers in Offa, Oyun and other Local Governments in Kwara South.
Addressing traditional rulers, community leaders, youth groups, market women and heads of established institutions in the district, Saraki decried the deplorable state of inter-community roads in Ibolo, describing them as death traps and in dire need of urgent attention.

“It’s unfortunate that the roads linking communities within this district and to other cities are death traps. The St. Claire’s Rondo, Offa-Ikotun Road is a clear example of roads in dire need that have been abandoned,” he said.
Saraki assured the people that he will continue to support the people of the region and Kwara State at large, a commitment he said he has shouldered since 2003 when he became Governor of Kwara State.
He reiterated that Ibolo Kingdom deserves the best, noting that the people have been an integral part of the state and must not be neglected.
“Ibolo Kingdom deserves the best. You have been an integral part of Kwara State’s growth and development. I will complete the St. Claire’s Rondo, Offa-Ikotun Road and make it viable for our people and for the institutions in this corridor,” Saraki assured.
You will recall that Saraki over the weekend visited major traditional rulers in Offa, Oyun and other LGs in Kwara South where he was accorded massive and rousing welcome by residents, a testament to his enduring legacies in the region.
Community leaders who spoke during the engagements commended Saraki for his consistent support for Ibolo since 2003 and expressed confidence that the road and other abandoned inter-community roads will receive attention under his leadership.
