Ekiti State Government said on Thursday that it had set aside N1.9 billion for the construction of a new governors’ office and high court complex in Ado-Ekiti.

The Commissioner for Works and Transportation, Mrs Funmi Ogun, made this known during an open bidding for the two projects in Ado-Ekiti.

Ogun said that the projects were conceived as part of plans to the state a facelift in terms of infrastructure development.

She said that when completed, both projects would add to the existing legacy projects of the present administration in the state.

According to her, the consultants’ proposed bill for the construction of the new governor’s office is N687, 028, 630.63 million while that of the High Court Complex is N1, 299, 613, 897.60.

It was reported that the contractors that bid for the new governor’s office project at the session included Vyouad Construction Company Limited, Tianjin Yuyang Construction Company and Goodek Ventures Limited.

For the construction of the proposed court complex, Grid Associates Limited and Fovak Construction Limited jostled for the job.

The commissioner stated that the open tender confirmed the transparency of Fayose’s government and its commitment to prudent management of the state’s lean resources.

“What we are doing today confirms the transparency of our government.

“It shows that Gov. Fayose is incurably committed to giving Ekiti a face lift and make Ado Ekiti capital city a real modern city.

“Ekiti will clock 20 years on Oct.1, 2016 and we have to embark on projects that will make Ekiti a developing state that can compete with other capital cities in terms of infrastructure.

“The High Court we are presently using was inherited from the old Ondo state and constructing a new one of our own will afford us the opportunity to put state-of-the-art equipment,” she said.

Tell me the legacy Fayemi left behind apart from the useless government house and the flower planting stuff. No one has developed Ekiti like Fayose.

I guess you saw or read the money earmarked for the governor's office? Fayemi built one useless thing and said he spent 2billions. Can you see the difference now?

Stay away from Saki or Ilesha and you will be liberated. All the major roads you see in Ado Ekiti today were constructed by who? You'd better visit Ekiti and ask questions before spewing rubbish
