In the meantime, residents of Aiyekire Local Government Areas have appealed to the State Government to prevail on the contractor handling the 5km road project in the area to increase the pace of work and complete the project on time.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Commission, Mr. Bayo Aina has said that the 5km road projects initiated by the state government is not another jamboree but a bold step towards making all parts of Ekiti accessible by motorable roads by 2014.
