The Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has lamented the recent directive from the federal government stopping governors from fixing federal roads in their respective states. The governor, however, added that lack of funds was the reason the federal government gave the directive, saying his repeated efforts to repair the Ado-Akure and the Polytechnic roads have been unsuccessful. According to him, ” I would have loved to do some of these roads but the Federal Government said repeatedly leave our roads alone. ” I have written to the federal government that I want to repair Ado-Akure road and also the Ureje road to polytechnic and ABUAD, the reply I got was still the same. Recently, I got funds from AfDB to work on the Ado-Akure road, the response is still the same.
