Flagging off the construction works, the governor reiterated the commitment of his administration to meeting the aspiration of the people for infrastructure. He also challenged the people on their civic obligations, including tax payment.

Dr. Fayemi who was hailed by the people for embarking on the road projects assured that no part of the State will be left out in terms of infrastructure development.

He said his government has continued to pursue lofty goals in spite of daunting financial challenges

The governor noted that the Agbado-Ode-Isinbode -Omuo road which is a shorter route to Abuja from Ekiti State was long abandoned by motorists and became a death trap.

He said the road, on completion, and the extension of the Dangote-handled Obajana-Kabba road to Omuo, commuters would have a new lease of life.
