Rt. Honourable Taiwo Olatubosun gave the hope through a press statement signed and circulated by him after he embarked on the inspection of the ongoing road construction on Saturday, assuring the people that relief would come the way of motorists and commuters as the State Government commenced the rehabilitation of the Igede – Ilawe road as contractors moved. 

There was massive jubilation by commuters and residents of the communities when the State Commissioner for Information, Rt. Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun inspected the ongoing works on the road on Saturday evening, as commuters expressed their delight over the positive intervention on the road.

Rt. Hon. Olatunbosun who stressed that while Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s administration does not believe in dishing out biased or misleading information to promote political point of view, said that he was at the site as Government’s spokesman, to have a firsthand experience of the development in order to sufficiently inform the people of the activities of Government in line with the administration policy of transparency and accountability.

Olatunbosun described the rehabilitation of the road as strategic to boost commerce, agriculture, economy and security as well as to attract investments, development and generally make life easier for the people.

He noted that 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 Government Areas of Irepodun/Ifelodun LG and Ekiti South West LG, it also links two Federal Constituencies and two Senatorial Districts.

According to him, work is also ongoing on the Ilawe-Ado with construction of functional drainage system among others while the construction of a new culvert has been completed to replace the failed one at Ilawe.

Olatunbosun who was accompanied by the Chairman of Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government, Hon. Babatola Ogundana, added that the focus is to effectively link the entire Ekiti communities together and ensure a free flow of traffic.

He pointed out that the Igede-Ilawe-Ado road also serves as a ring road that would assist in reducing traffic volumes in the State capital by providing an alternate route around the city for drivers who do not essentially need to stop in the city centre, adding that the road is to also connect suburbs to each other and allow efficient travels between them.  

Reiterating the commitment of Governor Oyebanji to fulfilling his campaign promises, the Commissioner assured that the people would not be kept in the dark as he would continue to keep them abreast of the polices, programmes, activities and what he described as “the silent achievements” of government in line with the inclusiveness policy of the administration.  

He solicited the continued support of the people adding that they should see themselves as active partners with the administration and owners of its laudable programmes, policies and projects.
