“We equally appreciated every individual and group who heeded our call in the past most especially all that supported the construction of drainage and asphalts of roads within Ijare community,” he said.
Mr Oluwole also used the occasion to thank the Governor of Ondo state, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN for his various interventions in the town.

“The recognition and approval of Bethel College of Education as an extension of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, by our dear Arakunrin is a catalyst for educational and economic development, for which we are sincerely grateful.
“It is also worthy of note the promptness and very technically skillful manner the Governor handled the humanitarian crisis that would have been precipitated by the cows killed by thunder at Oke Owa.
He added that the community appreciated the manner in which the government dispatched health workers to fumigate the dead cows to prevent epidemic in the community.
Speaking on the sidelines of the event, the chairman Ifedore council area, Alex Oladimeji noted that Ijare has been lucky to have a Governor that prioritise the needs of the people, adding that the various interventions have been geared towards the development of that state.
He added that the ongoing road construction from Orita Obele to Oke Odu will soon reach Ijare as the Governor won’t relent until every every community benefit road revolution.
“You hear what the representative of Mr Governor said to the request from the Olujare-in-Council that the road construction would reach Ijare.
“It is just a matter of time and I want us to all be patient with this government,” he added.
The event featured cultural display, students match pass, Apoporo Dance step, and institution of Ijare Hall of Fame.
