Commence Rehabilitation And Reconstruction Of Imesi - Kosomolate - Ipole Road Before The End Of January 2021

—

Our Assessment

This promise is rated Completed. The Imesi-Kosomolate-Ipole Road was flagged off on January 15, 2021, meeting the promise deadline for commencement. However, the road projects were never completed under Gov. Fayemi. The promise was specifically about commencement before end of January 2021, not completion, and this was achieved.

Why It Matters

This rural road links farming settlements to major transport routes. Commencing rehabilitation on schedule ensures that farmers can evacuate perishable crops quickly, reduces vehicle maintenance costs, and signals government accountability on timeline-based promises to rural communities often neglected in infrastructure planning. However, full construction of the road will even strengthen infrastructure in Ekiti state.

Progress So Far

Fayemi Begins Imesi- Kosomolate Road Construction

On January 15, 2021, Governor Fayemi flagged off the construction of 1,000km of rural roads across Ekiti State. The Imesi Kosomolate Road was explicitly listed among the six pilot roads flagged off by Governor Fayemi on January 15, 2021, under the RAAMP programme, co-financed by the World Bank and the French Agency for Development (AFD). The flag-off occurred before the end of January 2021, exactly as promised. The governor, represented by Deputy Governor Chief Bisi Egbeyemi, stated that the roads would stimulate grassroots economy, provide market access for farm produce, and prevent post-harvest losses. Contractors were instructed to engage local artisans and workmen to benefit the communities. 

While update from the RAAMP roads show they are far from being completed by the time Fayemi left office, the promise specifically required only commencement of rehabilitation and reconstruction before the end of January 2021, not completion.
