SEYI MAKINDE GOT THIS RIGHT BY OLABODE OPESEITAN

When leaders deliver, everyone should commend them. Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde nailed it with Olunloyo Park on Airport Road, Ibadan, a fresh gem boosting Ibadan’s appeal.

Museums and recreational parks define livable cities, and Ibadan craves more like this.

The beauty? Government need not build alone. Identify Ibadan’s top 5 prime spots, partner with investors: allocate land, fast-track approvals, enforce timelines, and demand sustainable operations plans.

Crunch the numbers for viability, headhunt players, then open bids publicly. You’ll be stunned by the interest.

Kudos to Oyo State for this win. Now, craft a rock-solid maintenance strategy. I recently saw a video of Agodi Gardens crumbling post-Ajimobi’s revamp. Neglect is turning that triumph to ruins.

Sign management contracts with proven firms running similar spots sustainably, like those behind Lagos’ top parks, to keep Olunloyo Park shining
