Relief has come the way of motorists and commuters, as Ekiti State Government has begun the rehabilitation of Igede-Ilawe road.
There was jubilation by commuters and residents of the communities when the Commissioner for Information, Taiwo Olatunbosun, inspected the ongoing works on the road on Saturday evening. They expressed their delight about the positive intervention on the road.
Olatunbosun, who stressed that while Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration did not believe in dishing out biased or misleading information to promote political point of view, he was at the site as government’s spokesman to have a first-hand experience of the development in order to inform the people of the activities of the government, in line with the administration policy of transparency and accountability.
He described the rehabilitation of the road as strategic to boost commerce, agriculture, economy and security as well as attract investments, development and generally make life easier for the people.
He said the road is a major route from the northern part of the country through Kwara to the south in Akure or all the way to Lagos, adding that it not only links two local governments of Irepodun/Ifelodun and Ekiti South West, it also links two federal constituencies and two senatorial districts.
The Chairman of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government, Babatola Ogundana, hailed Governor Oyebanji for initiating the rehabilitation of Igede-Ilawe road.
