President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the reconstruction of the Ado–Ijan–Ilumoba–Ikole Road in Ekiti State, according to reports from The Punch and Nigerian Eye. The road is described as an important corridor linking parts of the South-West with the route to the Federal Capital Territory and has been in poor condition for years. The Nigerian Eye report says an approval letter dated July 1, 2026 was addressed to the Minister of Works, Dave Umahi, and the Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service, Zach Adedeji, with a copy sent to Governor Biodun Oyebanji. It adds that funding will come from the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Project Fund. Both outlets frame the decision as fulfilling Tinubu’s infrastructure commitments to Ekiti. Nigerian Eye also notes that the approval follows earlier support from Tinubu for the reconstruction of the Itawure–Aramoko–Ado Ekiti Road. The reports cite the road’s significance for access to institutions including the Federal Polytechnic, Afe Babalola University, the Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport, and the Ekiti Knowledge Zone.
