Ondo State Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has commissioned a series of community-funded development projects in Ile-Oluji, headquarters of Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government Area, describing the initiatives as strategic investments that will stimulate economic growth, create employment opportunities and improve the quality of life for residents.

The projects were inaugurated on Thursday as part of activities marking the 10th Coronation Anniversary of the Jegun of Ile-Oluji Kingdom, Oba (Dr.) Oluwole Olufaderin Adetimehin, Jimoko II.

Among the projects commissioned were a fully installed 10MVA 33/11KV step-down transformer, two blocks of a proposed 40-room student hostel designed to serve students of the Federal Polytechnic, Ile-Oluji, and a modern farmers’ market. The projects were executed through community-driven efforts aimed at enhancing infrastructure and boosting economic activities in the town.

Represented at the event by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Hon. Amidu Takuro, Governor Aiyedatiwa commended the people of Ile-Oluji for their commitment to self-help initiatives and sustainable community development.

The governor noted that the successful completion of the projects reflected the collective determination of the people to contribute meaningfully to the growth and transformation of their community.



Aiyedatiwa also paid tribute to the Jegun of Ile-Oluji Kingdom, Oba Olufaderin Adetimehin, describing him as one of the most respected and development-oriented traditional rulers in Ondo State. He said the monarch’s leadership had continued to promote peace, unity and progress within the kingdom.

The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to supporting traditional institutions across the state, emphasizing the important role traditional rulers play in maintaining peace, fostering security and advancing development at the grassroots level.

According to him, collaboration between government and traditional institutions remains essential, particularly as communities continue to confront evolving security and socio-economic challenges.

Speaking on the significance of the newly commissioned projects, Aiyedatiwa said the infrastructure would stimulate local business activities, encourage enterprise development, improve productivity and support wealth creation. He added that the projects would also contribute to food security and strengthen the local economy.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Central Planning Committee for the monarch’s 10th Coronation Anniversary and Aro of Ile-Oluji Kingdom, Oloye Akinsola Akinfemiwa, OON, expressed appreciation to the Ondo State Government for identifying with the community during the celebration.
