The Government of Ekiti and Ondo States have secured Federal Government’s approval to reconstruct and toll Akure-Ikere road.

This was disclosed via the Twitter account of the Ekiti state government on Friday.

The approval was secured by the governments of Ekiti and Ondo states, led by Kayode Fayemi and Rotimi Akeredolu respectively.

The Federal Government had earlier hinted on its plan to reintroduce toll gates, fifteen years after the administration of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo scrapped them.

FTC for the first time!......whaooo

This road has been in bad shape since time immemorial especially the Ondo state axis. Ondo state government refused the proposal for the joint renovation of this road by the then governor of Ekiti state Ayo Fayose; now they want to effect toll gate on this road.

Erection of toll gate on this road will not guarantee the maintenance and the standard of the road bcoz d revenue generated will b squandered by these unscrupulous individuals as we all know.

Erection of the toll gate will put strain on commuters because the union of drivers will increase d transport fare which is already outrageous at #800 for a journey less than an hour.

The Federal Government should take responsibility for what they are constituted to do and not try to dodge it every now and then. They are responsible to maintain inter state roads and billions of naira are allocated every year to do this. They should sit up and do their fucking job. Just check d federal roads in d country especially the SE and u will know these ppl are just crooks swimming in d pool of corruption.
