Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, on Monday, flagged off the construction of four major roads linking seven local government areas of the State.

The roads are Agbado-Ode-Isinbode- Omuo road linking Aiyekire and Ekiti East local government areas; Ilupeju- Ire- Ijan-Igbemo road linking Oye, Aiyekire and Irepodun-Ifelodun local government areas; Oye-Ikun-Otun-Dairy farm road which links Oye, Ilejemeje and Moba council areas, and Aramoko-Erijiyan-Ikogosi road in Ekiti West local government area.

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.

On Oye-Ikun-Otun-Dairy farm road, Dr. Fayemi said the rehabilitation work would not only provide job opportunities for engineers, artisans, and casual workers among others but would also boost the operations of Ikun Dairy farm which was recently taken over by Promasidor Nigeria Ltd.

He explained that the project was commenced in 2011 with its scope on selected sections but the new scope of work involved “total asphalt overlay from Oye to Ikun, with an extension to Ikun Dairy Farm up to Ekiti State boundary with Kwara State”.

In the last three weeks, Ekiti State governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi and his team have been occupied with the celebration of the third year anniversary of his second term in the state. To commemorate the anniversary, a lot of activities were lined up. But as the activities continued, it was obvious that the masses are the ultimate winners, considering the number of projects that have been completed under the administration, which touch on the lives of common men on the street of the state.

Perhaps what better reflected the mood of the people towards the achievement of the governor was the tumultuous crowd, comprising traditional rulers, market women, artisans and other members of the public that assembled in Ijan, Oye and Aramoko Ekiti on Wednesday, October 13 to witness the commissioning of the state roads constructed by the governor in the last three years. The roads  are;  the Ilupeju-Ire-Igbemo- Ijan road, Oye-Isan- Ikun Dairy Farm Road, Aramoko- Erijiyan road, Agbado-Ode-Isinbode Road and Ibuji-Igbaraodo-Ilawe- Ado Ekiti road.
