The workaholic monarch, Oluwo of Iwo, HIM Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, yesterday, completed the rehabilitation of the dilapidated session of Iwo-Ibadan express way.
Oba Akanbi, discontented by the plight of daily passengers on the said road, committed his resources in cash and physical energy at ensuring hitch-free locomotion on the route.
Oluwo's consistency on the road is an example of existence born to humanity, use for fellow with satisfaction.
The road is addressed such that traffic gridlock became history on the path. Free trafficking returned to the advantage of Nigerians who are daily users of the road
In one of Oluwo's daily routine at putting the road in shape, unexpected of his status, was beaten by rain, his crown wet while he enjoyed the sweat for his subjects' sweet.
"I'm happy the threat and blockage to economic activities of Iwo is removed. It is one of the greatest of my joys. The motorists, passengers and road side residents are joyful to witness the road upgrade"
"Service to humanity is my watchword. Lives can be saved with minimum amount with little effort. My knowledge of life has shown that, the best prayer and most meaningful living is the one committed to serving others. And the definition of wealthy is resources endowed to uplift others"
For almost a month ago, Oba Akanbi, is a daily visitor to the route, committed in cash and energy to decimate the plight of passengers especially in this yuletide season.
The road, which is assessed to be a primary link and lubricator of bilateral economic interaction between Osun and Oyo States as for years, experienced neglect by the government. Recently, some sections of the route is almost condemned for trafficking, invited damage to locomotive machines and accident prone as many travellers are avoiding the road. Displeased by the outcry of traders who use the road daily, Oluwo, being a father to the nation moves his palace to address the moribund parts.
Unusual of his status, the workaholic Oluwo, with humility and in demonstration of an highly industrious spirit, is seen, with crown on his heads patching roads for the convenience of Nigerians, who he claimed, as a father to the nation, are all his children.
Since wee last week, Oluwo, to ensure timely delivery of the road, contracted labourers to handle the gutter at Ejioku situated at Lagelu Government area of Oyo, very close to the boundary of Iwo and Ibadan.
The gesture is not knew in any form to Oba Akanbi. His monarchical conducts are tailored towards serving humanity. He is interested, not in amassing wealth but in providing succour to the masses and the general public.
