Residents Of Araromi-Ekiti Cry Out Over Dilapidated Road, Other Social Amenities

“Majority of our people are farmers, it is difficult to get vehicles that will help them to transport their farm produce to the markets for sale, Drivers are afraid of plying the road because it is too bad”.

Princess Adesina explained that their vehicles usually get mechanical fault as a result of the bad state of the road, hence the need for urgent action.

According to her, the rehabilitation of the road will boost the social and economic activities of the concerned communities. 

Also Speaking, the President Araromi Progressive Union, Mr. Thaddeus Agboola said some months ago they heard that government had awarded the road project, to their surprise, nothing has been done since. 

Mr Agboola appealed to Governor Kayode Fayemi to include the Iropora-Araromi-Epe-Ijero road as part of the projects to be handed over to the Governor-Elect, Mr. Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. 

While appreciating the state government for some support they have received, Mr. Agboola called for urgent solution to issues preventing the supply of pipe borne water to Araromi and Epe-Ekiti communities, saying the two communities have not benefited from the new water project embarked upon by the state government.

“We are not enjoying the major social amenities such as good road, potable water and power supply that can make life easier for residents of a community”. 

They however urged the state government to see to their plights in order for them to benefit from good governance like other towns in Ekiti state.
