Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose,
has vowed not to leave any uncompleted projects behind by the time his tenure
expires on October 15.
Addressing the people of the
state in a broadcast to mark the New Year on Monday, Fayose said he is working
assiduously to complete the projects and inaugurate them for public use.
Thanking the people of the state
for their support since the commencement of his second tenure in office, the
governor promised to embark on a thank-you tour to all parts of the state later
in the year before he leaves office.
He also promised to clear all the
arrears of salaries and allowances owed civil servants before the expiry of his
tenure.
Fayose promised to ensure the
continuity of the Urban Renewal progamme of his administration to give the
state a face of modernity.
He said: “I have opened up the
horizon of Ekiti State from a rustic countryside to an emerging urban centre in
the provisions of infrastructure notably in road construction, public buildings
and socio -economic transformation generally.
“During my first tenure in
office, I started the dualization of the Ado-Ekiti major motor ways. My
government, during this second term, has been able to extend the dualization of
roads to most of our local government headquarters.
“The icing on the cake is the
construction of the multibillion Naira 1.3km Ado-Ekiti overhead carriage which
now links Fajuyi park, flying over the Okesa market to the Ojumose road axial.
“I am also happy to remark that
the public building projects which we started during my first tenure in places
like the Government House, the State Secretariat and the Trade Fair Arena, to
mention but a few, have continued with a new Governor’s office, a befitting
complex for the judiciary and a new residential apartment for the Speaker of
the House of Assembly.
“My Government will complete
these projects including the ultra-modern market in Ado-Ekiti.”
On workers’ entitlements, he
said: “In the New Year, we shall continue in that same style and redouble our
efforts as I do not want to leave Ekiti Government House as debtor of salaries.
“I am not also unmindful of the
yearnings and aspirations of our people in other areas of government
responsibilities but we can only do one thing at a time.
“The insufficiency of today will
turn out to be abundance of tomorrow if we can improve on our efforts and
dedication.
“Let us keep hope alive and
continue to support government in all its endeavours.”
Fayose also expressed gratitude
to the opposition for putting government on its toes, saying the constitution
guarantees freedom of expression.
