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.

Dr. Fayemi warned the contractors handling the four projects against substandard jobs.

He advised them to ensure “strict adherence to specifications with a view to delivering high quality, durable and serviceable roads within the stipulated time”.

The governor also called on citizens and residents of the state to fulfil their civic obligations, especially tax payment, in order to strengthen the government’s capacity to meet their expectations.

He said the citizens’ support would enable the government to actualize the quest for infrastructure development and make Ekiti state better.

Members of the benefiting communities rolled out the drums to welcome the governor whom they thanked immensely for remembering their long-abandoned roads.

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.

For the people of Ekiti West, the local government that houses the popular Ikogosi Warm and Cold Springs, the Fayemi’s administration was described as a “God sent” to them as he has continued to be their messiah over the years in making sure that the nature’s hidden treasure in the local government is not abandoned. Beyond the construction of the road linking Aramoko, Erinjiyan and Ikogosi, the people expressed their joy over the restoration of electricity in Ikogosi, Ipole-Iloro and Erijiyan communities that had been in darkness for four years.
