By Mustafa Abubakar
The Kwara State Government(KWSG) has commenced the rehabilitation of the University of Ilorin-Tanke Road, bringing relief to residents and motorists, particularly members of the University community, who have long appealed for intervention on the busy corridor.
The rehabilitation project, being executed by AIB Engineering Consultants on behalf of the Kwara State Ministry of Works, covers both sides of the road from the Tipper Garage Flyover bridge to the Main Gate of the University.
Speaking with UNILORIN Bulletin last Wednesday (July 29, 2026), the Site Engineer, Mr Usman Omola Sulaimon, said the firm is committed to delivering the project within the stipulated timeframe.
According to him, the rehabilitation work is expected to be completed within two weeks, with work progressing continuously to ensure timely delivery.
Mr Sulaimon noted that the work goes beyond filling potholes, as it involves patching, rehabilitation of failed sections, desilting of drainage channels and cutting operations where necessary before the final asphalt patching.
“We are fixing the road through patching and rehabilitation. We are also carrying out desilting of drainage channels and cutting operations in areas that require attention before completing the patching up to the University of Ilorin Main Gate,” he said.
Mr Sulaimon assured the Kwara State Government and members of the public that the project would be delivered in line with engineering best practices and completed as scheduled.
