Chinese company to construct road in Osun State.

CHINESE FIRM TO CONSTRUCT ROAD IN OSUN
Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has met with a team from Chinese Construction Firm, Hongye Construction Group to perfect talks on road construction in the state.
Governor Aregbasola, who had hinted recently that his administration will reconstruct Osun roads after the rains subside, re-echoed this resolve, when he received in his office the Management team of Hongye Construction Group.
Hongye Construction Group has been given the task to open up and construct some selected roads in Osun State.
The projects include Igbajo-Iresi road in Boluwaduro Local Government, Ajegunle-Orileowu-Gbongan-Apomu-Ikire road in Ayedaade local government, and the road linking Iloko-Ijesa – Ijebu-Jesa in Oriade Local Government, which also serves as a link to Aramoko-Ekiti in Ekiti State.
Aregbesola said the job given to the company would test its technical and financial capacity to partner the state government in the construction of durable roads across the state.
The governor noted that what would define the relationship between the state and the firm would be the flexibility in funding, as his administration would not adopt the customary routine government-contractor relationship.
In a statement to the Chinese firm, he said, “We will be paying on account as you are able to deliver to enable us meet other commitments. On these roads, let us work out how you will mobilise and start your efforts at telling the world that you are a reliable, proficient and award-winning construction company. The only thing is that we have to agree on the flexibility of funding because it won’t be payment on the usual term.”
He recalled that during his recent trip to China, the Chairman of the company gave his assurances to do all within his power to make sure that nothing prevents the beneficial relationship between the state and the Chinese companies.
He also noted that the visit of the company management team to Osun State was a reflection of the high premium and seriousness attached to their engagement.
He expressed hope that the construction company would showcase its capacity to construct roads that would be reference point and a model of excellence in line with the dream by his administration.
The Managing Director of Hongye Construction Group, Mr. Yang Hansheng promised that the company will construct quality roads at minimal cost in Osun, stressing that the partnership with the state government would also assist in providing more job opportunities for citizens in the state.
