The Minister, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji, called on the contractors handling the projects to embrace the ideals of the Renewed Hope administration in the execution of the contracts given to them.

He said “the Minister, who condemned the slow and shaddy pace of work by the contractor handling the Akure-Itagbolu-Iju-Ekiti Border-Ikere Ado Ekiti road, summoned a meeting of the contractor and her consultants to his office to discuss the way forward in ensuring the timely delivery of the project and in line with standard and specification required of the job.”

Umahi also promised to take up further conversations on the request of Ekiti State governor and other stakeholders of the State on the Ado Ekiti-Afe Babalola University Road.

He said, “I didn’t know that this road is a major corridor that evacuates a lot of commercial produce from Benin, Lokoja, all the way to the Southern and Northern parts of the country. The Governor is very desirous that this road be done, and of course, the learned SAN. So we have looked at the roads and we are coming back. My team will be there on Saturday, and I will be back in the next seven days. So we want to give it all the attention. That’s what the Governor wants. That’s what the learned SAN wants,” the Minister was quoted as saying.

He also thanked the Founder of Afe Babalola University, Aare Afe Babalola, SAN, for investing in humanity.

“So we thank you. We thank you for the investment you’ve made; you have invested in God. Investing in humanity is to invest in God. It was Solomon who said, vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. So you have invested a lot of treasures on mankind. God will invest in you,” he stated.

In their separate remarks, the governor of the State, Abiodun Oyebamji, and the Founder of Afe Babalola University thanked President Bola Tinubu for the unprecedented commitment to road infrastructure development under his administration.
