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

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.
