Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo has described the award of the dualisation of Ado-Ikere-Akure road by President Muhammadu Buhari as a worthy legacy to the people of the two states.
In a chat with newsmen after the Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister said the inclusion of the road amongst roads to be fixed through the NNPC Tax Credit Scheme is a welcome development to the people of the two states.
A statement by the Minister’s Special Assitant ,Ifedayo Say
said the road has brought untold hardship to the people plying the road in the past as efforts to fix the road in the past have not yielded any positive result.
He hailed the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola for the inclusion of the roads amongst Federal Government roads to be reconstructed, saying the gesture would remain indelible in the heart of Ekiti people.
The Minister said the road when fully reconstructed would open Ekiti State up for more investors and induce economic growth of the two states
