President Bola Tinubu has approved the reconstruction of the Ado-Ijan-Ilumoba-Ikole Road in Ekiti State.
The road project is to be funded through the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Project Fund of the Federal Government.
The media adviser to the Ekiti State Governor, Yinka Oyebode, said in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday that the letter conveying the President’s approval for the road project was dated July 1, 2026, and addressed to the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, and the Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Mr Zach Adedeji, with a copy sent to Governor Biodun Oyebanji.
Oyebode stated that “the new development is coming barely seven months after construction work commenced on the Itawure-Aramoko-Ado Ekiti Road, also in the state, following the President’s approval.”
The Ado-Ijan-Ilumoba-Ikole Road, which connects the South-West region with the Federal Capital Territory and provides access to the Federal Polytechnic, Afe Babalola University, Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport, Ekiti Knowledge Zone and the Federal Institute of Transport Technology, has been in a deplorable condition for many years following persistent neglect by previous administrations.
Tinubu had, at a recent meeting with Oyebanji and the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, promised to prioritise the construction of the road through its inclusion in the Renewed Hope Projects.
