I wont leave uncompleted projects behind- Fayose

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.
