The Senate Leader, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele, has pledged to influence the inclusion of the construction of the 14km Igede-Iworoko Road in Ekiti State into the 2025 budget.
Bamidele said the road construction would ease the transportation process in the affected communities, and attract business and investments.
The National Assembly member representing the Ekiti Central Senatorial District, who was represented by the leader of the All Progressives Congress in Ado Ekiti, Remi Oguntuase, spoke at Igede-Ekiti on Saturday during the grand finale of the 2024 Igede-Ekiti Day celebration, with the theme, “Moving from glory to glory.”
He said, “We will construct 12 classrooms for our pupils as part of efforts to make sure that students attain quality education under a conducive environment. I will also influence the inclusion of the 14km Igede-Iworoko Road in the 2025 budget.”
The Chairman of the event’s planning committee, Dr Sunday Oluyemi, said the celebration was to reflect on how the community could be developed through unity and harmony, and celebrate the 92nd birthday and 65th coronation of the Onigede of Igede-Ekiti, Adelusi Aladesuru.
The monarch praised Governor Biodun Oyebanji for his support to the community, and his giant strides across various sectors of the state.
Aladesuru urged the residents of the town “to be united, not just for the celebrations, but for the growth and development of Igede-Ekiti.”
The celebrations also witnessed the installation of some eminent individuals as chiefs for their immense contributions towards the town’s development.
