Federal roads: EKSG’s intervention to alleviate suffering, complement President’s infrastructure devt. agenda - Gov Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji
... Says Ado- Iworoko- Ifaki road to gulp over N15b

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji has disclosed that his istration's intervention in federal roads in some parts of the state is to alleviate the sufferings of residents in intra and inter state transportation.

Governor Oyebanji, who disclosed this on Saturday while inspecting some of the on-going projects in the state, said it became imperative for his government to intervene in the Federal Government roads to enable the citizens have unfettered access to different parts of the state.

Speaking with journalists shortly after the inspection of the ongoing Ado – Iworoko – Ifaki road construction and a medical complex project at the State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, the Governor hinted that the road will cost his government over fifteen billion naira.

He explained further that although the road is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, but it is primarily used by Ekiti people, thereby compelling the state government to fix it, for use by the people.

Stressing the importance of the road to the state’s economic and social life, as it connects towns and facilitate movement of goods and services within and outside the state, as well as serving as a major link to the northern part of the country, the Governor said the state of the road has been a source of concern to his istration.

Governor Oyebanji said his government remained focused on roads that have significant economic impact, especially those that connect communities and boost trade. He expressed hope that the state would be compensated after the completion of the road project, adding that such compensation would encourage his government to take on more federal roads.

The Governor who also visited the Ekiti State Teaching hospital said the construction going on in the hospital is to upscale the facility to ensure Ekiti people have access to quality and affordable healthcare service delivery.

While expressing satisfaction on the work so far, the Governor maintained that the project would change the face of Medicare in the state.

"So, the road inspected, actually is a federal road, but it is Ekiti people that use it. The road is one of the major arteries to the North, and it has become a major concern to our government. Governor Kayode Fayemi started it and we are about to complete it now. That speaks to the beauty of continuity.

"That road is going to cost us a 15billion naira. We are able to embark on a project of this magnitude because of the strong from the federal government of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and this is our modest contribution to complement Mr President’s infrastructural development and we hope the Federal Government would compensate us after its completion to encourage us to can fix more roads and further enhance the economic development of the people.

“Our immediate focus now is to finish the construction on time and make it available for the use of the people”, the Governor said.

Africa yooooooo

Since the creation of ekiti state as small as it is. Every Governor that we ever had, always working on the bad road. And they will do so till Jesus come

The most important federal road in ado ekiti metro is ABUAD-Poly-Town road.
Misplaced priority at its peak!
No one is asking you to construct a new road there
Just make the road motorable!
That’s all!

Great leadership is about serving the people with a heart of love and selflessness. God bless Nigeria for ever!

Nigeria prospered under Gowon, OBJ & GEJ.

Nigeria suffered under Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Tinubu.

When Osinbajo took over things improved, once it went back to Buhari things worsened again.

What do Gowon, OBJ , GEJ & Osinbajo have in common? Jesus!

What do Buhari, IBB, Abacha, Tinubu all have in common, allah!

Make of it what you will

The suffering we are all seeing in Nigeria is something else.

Kabba to lkole Ekiti is no going area.

Very poor state with many jobless youths.

Good to know the governors are taking the initiative to fix the bad roads in their respective states.

I think federal government should just mearge Ekiti and Ondo states together, there's no tangible development in those local state

AfonjaMozlems:
Go and complement your brother, Ogun state's debt first.

complement is a black African issue,not really necessary

How is Ekiti a small state? by land mass or by population. You probably new to know that Ekiti is twice bigger than Lagos and 5 more states in Nigeria by land mass and also bigger that 7 states in of population. Ekiti also has the best rate of growth in the whole country in of internally generated revenue, 76% growth rate within just 1 year. Ekiti is not small my friend.

15 billion Naira for Ado-iworoko-ifaki road? That road construction shouldn't be more than 7 billion naira max. This guy needs money for reelection campaign.

ABUAD road is the major road that links to the North and not the one he's prioritising.

Also, ABUAD road needs to be reconstructed to two lanes but it's takes a Governor with a ball like Fayose to do such.
