Ekiti Rural roads get FADAMA interventions to enhance Agricultural Development.
"Road access has been defined as one of the critical rural infrastructures that must be created to accelerate the rural economy.
Farmers suffer close to 50% post-harvest losses due to either a lack of good roads, culverts, or mini-bridges.
His Excellency Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji administration has utilised the FADAMA CARES PROJECT intervention to reconstruct or rehabilitate the last-mile roads in 160km and 100 mini bridges/culverts.
This intervention complements the efforts of the World Bank support in the Rural Access Agricultural Marketing Program (RAAMP) which is presently working on both the state and local roads to ease the movement of agricultural products.
We are gradually connecting the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of the food value chain.
You can see that the N50bn investment in Agriculture is money well spent.
We will continue to push the data to educate the populace."
