EKITI APPROVES N9.3B FOR IKERE-ONDO ROAD


The Ekiti State government has approved N9.3 billion for the dualisation of the Ikere-Ondo State Boundary road.

Briefing reporters yesterday on the outcome of the State Executive Council meeting in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation Tayo Ekundayo said the contract was awarded to Messrs China Railway No 3 Engineering Company. The project is expected to be completed in 24 months.

Ekundayo said the government would pay 15 per cent mobilisation fee to the contractor, who will fund the remaining 85 per cent.

He said the contractor is on site, adding that the project would ease movement on the Ado-Ikere-Akure road when completed.

Ekundayo said he hoped Ondo State would do its portion of the road without delay.


He said the N2.9 billion contract for the reconstruction of the 30.2km Agbado-Ode-Isinbode-Omuo road was awarded to Messrs Prodeals Nigeria Limited.

The contract for the reconstruction of the 14.8km Awo-Eyio-Esure-Ifaki road was also awarded to the same contractor at N1.7 billion.

The N840 million contract for the construction of the Oye-Are road was awarded to Mac Engineering Construction Limited. It is to be completed in nine months.

The contract for the construction of internal roads at the State Housing Estate in Oke-Ila, Ado-Ekiti, was awarded to Messrs Dromo International Limited at N210 million. The work is to be completed in 10 months.

Ekundayo said the government approved N130 million for the dredging of some stream channels and allied construction work in Ado-Ekiti.

The stream channels are Ofin River (8,200 meters), Dallimore-Afao road (10,950 meters), Awajin/Segudu (2,200 meters) and Odo-Ayo-Bawa Estate (4,000 meters).

He dredging will prevent flooding in some parts of Ado-Ekiti.
