President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the reconstruction of the Ado-Ijan-Ilumoba- Ikole road.
The road project, according to a statement issued by Olayinka Oyebode, the Special Adviser to Governor Biodun Oyebanji, is to be funded through the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Project Fund of the Federal Government.
The letter communicating the President’s approval for the road construction was dated July 1, 2026, addressed to Dave Umahi, Minister of Works and Zach Adedeji, Chairman of Nigeria Revenue Service, and copied to Govenror Biodun Oyebanji of Ekiti State.
The new 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.
