By the grace of God, when I become your governor, we will commence work on the Enuwa–Fajuyi Junction road. We have also assessed the Ilare–Sabo Road and the Aderemi Road to Ondo Road.

During a rally in Ile-Ife, Oyebamiji outlined his administration's plans, which include significant infrastructure development. He specifically mentioned commencing work on the Enuwa–Fajuyi Junction road and renovating dilapidated primary schools in Ile-Ife.
