Ekiti Gov. assures resumption of work on Ado-Ijan-Aisegba road

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has given assurances that work would soon resume on Ado-Ijan-Aisegba-Omuo Road stating that the state Government, in collaboration with the Federal Government, has resolved all issues that led to the temporary abandonment of the road project by the contractor.

Governor Oyebanji gave the assurance over the weekend during the burial service of the late Chief Mathew Fatoba, the father of his Aide-de-Camp, held at the Holy Trinity, Anglican Church, Aisegba-Ekiti.

The Governor said the road had earlier been awarded and contractor had been mobilized to site before work was stalled due to certain challenges, which have now been addressed to ensure the contractor’s return to site.

While commending the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his support for the State, Governor Oyebanji said the President’s policies have helped in addressing infrastructure gaps as well as promoting economic development and welfare of citizens.

“I greet our fathers in the Lord and the deceased family, I assure you that I see the road leading here from Ado- Ekiti. It is part of our efforts. The Federal Government has awarded the road and contractor has moved to site, but they left because of one reason or the other. But by His grace, the Lord has helped us to settle it, very soon the contractor will go back to site”.

In light of recent road conditions, the state government has proactively introduced alternative routes into the capital to ease travel. Those heading from Lagos or Ibadan can take the scenic route via Iwaraja, Efon, Ipole, Ikogosi, Erijinyan, and Ilawe to reach Ado Ekiti. Travelers from Akure can navigate through Igbara Oke and Igbara Odo, while those coming from Abuja are advised to take the Kabba-Irun Akoko-Iro Ekiti-Ikole path for smoother sailing.
