Bitumen: Ondo's Journey of Hope.

To many, Bitumen exploration in Ondo state seems like one of those implausible election promises by some dubious politicians who woo people over through unrealistic promises. However, the case is different with Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, of Ondo State, who over time is known for integrity and honesty.
Bitumen was formally discovered in Ondo State in 1904. This discovery has the capacity to transform the socio-economic of the state, but it was paid lips service by various government that has come and gone with excuses of inadequate financial muscle to see to the extraction of the mineral thereby leaving the derivable socio-economic benefits to degenerate.
But the present government, led by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN, in line with his determination to see that major industries are situated in the state to alleviate teeming youths from unemployment, he began a journey into Bitumen exploration. Governor Akeredolu moved things beyond mere planning and mouthing of promises with the proof of the arrival of the equipment to commence the exploration of Bitumen in Ondo State by Southwest Bitumen Nigeria Limited.
This giant stride by Governor Akeredolu, has once again proven him worthy for the job. Ondo state would continue to move higher as long as it swims through the river of a man with a vision who is ready to actualize all the beautiful plans he has to stare Ondo State to a higher level in all ramification.
