Umahi and Oyebanji Discuss Road Development in Ekiti

On July 9, 2026, David Nweze Umahi, the Minister of Works, met with Biodun Oyebanji, the Governor of Ekiti State, to discuss the strategic development of the road sector. Umahi highlighted the federal government's commitment to equitable infrastructure development across Nigeria under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, ensuring that no state is left behind.

He noted that during his tenure as Governor of Ebonyi State, there were no significant federal road projects, a situation he aims to rectify. The meeting underscored the approval of the reconstruction of the Ado-Iyin-Aramoko road project, which had been pending for several years.

Governor Oyebanji expressed gratitude for the federal government's interventions and emphasized the importance of the Ado-Ijan-Ikole road project for enhancing transportation and economic activities in Ekiti State. The collaboration aims to improve public confidence in the federal government's commitment to infrastructure development.
