President Bola Ahmed 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 of Nigeria.
The letter communicating the President’s approval for the road construction was dated July 1, 2026, addressed to the Honourable Minister of Works, Engr Dave Umahi, Chairman of Nigeria Revenue Service, Mr Zach Adedeji and copied to Govenor Biodun Oyebanji.
This development is coming barely seven months after construction work commenced on the Itawure-Aramoko-Ado Ekiti road following the president’s approval.
The Ado-Ijan-Ilumoba-Ikole road, which connects the South-west region with the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and provides access to the Federal Polytechnic, Afe Babalola University, Ekiti Agro Allied International Cargo Airport, Ekiti Knowledge Zone, and Federal Institute of Transport Technology, has been in a deplorable condition for many years following persistent neglect by previous administrations.
President Tinubu, had in a recent meeting with Governor Oyebanji and the Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, promised to prioritise the construction of the road through its inclusion in the Renewed Hope Projects.
