Ekiti State Government has said it is being owed a sum of N12,220,513,024.08
as of today on Federal Government roads constructed by it.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, by Special Assistant to Governor
Ayodele Fayose on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka, the government said
between 2004 and 2014, the state spent “a sum of N15, 720,513,024.08 on
construction and rehabilitation of federal roads in the State, out of which
N3.5bn was refunded.”
Giving the breakdown, the government said N1.5bn was refunded in November
2004 while N2bn was refunded in December 2007.
The statement read, “Our attention has been drawn to the misinformation by
the All Progressives Congress concerning refund of money spent on federal
roads by the Ekiti State government, and we wish to state that the Ayodele
Fayose-led government has not received any refund from the federal
government.
“In actual fact, to date, the total amount spent on federal roads is N15.7bn
and we wonder how the federal government could have paid Ekiti State N22bn
when N15.7bn was spent and N3.5bn was refunded in 2004 and 2007, leaving
N12.2bn unpaid.
“In November 2004, dualisation of 6.7km Ado township road was awarded for
N1.5bn, in November 2005; extension of the dualisation of 8.075km Ado –
Ikere was awarded for N1.3bn, construction of 2.1km Ido-Otun-Kwara State
border was awarded in January 2007 for N1.7bn and dualisation of 19.3km
Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki road was awarded for N7.4bn by the Segun Oni’s
government while the Kayode Fayemi-led government increased it to N11bn.
“In November 2011, Fayemi-led government awarded 1.65km Fajuyi-Teaching
Hospital road for N447.5m, 4.9km Ojumose-Basiri/Police Hqs-Iyin road for
N1.5bn, dualisation of 0.8km Old Garrage-Ojumose road for N1.03bn, 13km Old
Garrage-Ado-Ikere road for N2.4bn and construction and rehabilitation of
11.3km Ikere-Ondo State Boundary road for N9.2bn.
“Total cost of federal roads projects embarked on by the State government is
N30.1bn, out of which N15.7bn had already been paid to contractors. Out of
this N15.7bn already expended by the State government, N3.5bn was refunded
by the federal government, leaving N12.2bn unpaid till date.
“Instructively, the APC government of Fayemi paid a sum of N1.4bn to China
Railway Engineering Nigeria Limited on the Ikere-Ondo State Boundary road
project. No work was done to justify the N1.4bn paid and anyone who intends
to find out can simply visit the site.
“Also, of all the road projects, only the dualisation of Ado Township road
awarded by the Fayose-led government in 2004 and the Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki road
was approved by the federal government. All the federal roads projects done
by the APC government of Fayemi did not get federal government approval.”
