ELECTION PROMISE OF PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE – FAYOSE
Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose, has said his administration
is investing in infrastructure because it is laying the foundation for the
economic growth of the state. Third year Anniversary : Ekiti State Governor, Mr
Ayodele Fayose commissioning the electricity light of Irasa Village in Ado
Local Government during commissioning of projects in Ekiti on Wednesday 11/10/17
He stated this on Wednesday while inaugurating some projects to commemorate the
third anniversary of his administration.
In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary,
Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor said this while inaugurating the Ikun Bridge in
Moba Local Government Area of the state. Among other projects inaugurated on
the first day of activities marking the anniversary were the Nata- Ori
Apata-Adebayo Road, Ado-Ekiti, electricity projects in Irasa and Ilokun, and
the Okemesi-Osun State Boundary Road.
The governor said it was his belief that a
solid infrastructural base would help accelerate economic development of the
state. “We are fulfilling our electoral promise of providing infrastructure for
the development of our state. This Ikun Road was started by me during my first
term and where I stopped is where I have come to meet it.
The bridge is the link between many
towns in this axis,” he said during the inauguration of the bridge. While
inaugurating the Nata-Ori Apata- Adebayo Road, the governor said when he
visited the area in January this year, he promised the residents that he would
reconstruct the road. “This is a promise kept. It is our duty to improve the
welfare of our people and give them hope. We are doing all these in spite of
our lean resources in the state. Our administration is not going to compromise
in the delivery of dividends of democracy to our people,” he noted.
The governor, while inaugurating the
Okemesi road, emphasised the need to enhance seamless connection and
relationship with neighbouring states for regional integration. In Irasa and
Ilokun where electricity projects were inaugurated, Fayose said such amenities
would improve the living standard of the people and open the areas up for more
economic activities. Commenting on the projects, community leaders such as
Chief Jimoh Aliu, Elder Babafemi Paul and Alhaji Suraju Ajayi, commended the
governor for his relentless efforts at developing the state.
