Today, something greater than a road was being walked.
Governor Seyi Makinde took His Excellency, Senator Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, on a tour of the Ibadan Circular Road — a bold vision first conceived during Ladoja’s administration, now being brought to life, piece by piece.
Though the road is still a work in progress, a substantial portion already tells a powerful story — that true leadership is not just about planting ideas, but about ensuring they grow.
This is more than infrastructure. It is intergenerational collaboration. It is proof that politics must serve posterity, not personal pride. In a nation where abandoned projects litter our landscape, this moment stands out: a sitting governor walking with a former one, not in competition, but in completion.
The Ibadan Circular Road is becoming real — not just in concrete and tar, but in the reaffirmation that governance, when done right, is a relay, not a race.
As the road stretches outward, so does hope.
