Alawe also used the opportunity to make a strong appeal to Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji of Ekiti State to take an urgent action in repairing the caved in portion of Ado-Ilawe road that occurred four months ago which has brought agony to the people of the town and all motorists plying the route.

The Alawe made the appeal during a yearly get together Dinner organised by him for eminent Ilawe indigenes which took place inside the Alawe palace on Monday, 26th December, 2022. 

While commending the state government for embarking on the repairs of the failed drainage in another area of the road, Oba Alabi urged the government to direct the site Contractor to immediately commence work on the big gulf which has become a death trap stressing that he has implicit confidence in Governor Biodun Oyebanji that he would take urgent action on the road.
