Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, has said the Federal Government would speed up the construction and rehabilitation of federal roads in Ekiti State.
Umahi stated this when he led the ministry’s team, in company of the Ekiti Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, on an inspection tour of some federal roads in the state.
The minister commended Oyebanji for his commitment to infrastructure upgrades in the state.
He disclosed that Oyebanji had made a case for the roads as part of the prosperity agenda of his administration.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the minister was earlier received by Oyebanji at the Akure Airport and they inspected the Akure-Ikere, Ekiti -Ado Ekiti dualised road.
