Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has explained the reason for his travels out of the country.
This he did in apparent reaction to a challenge recently given by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party which told him to stay home to govern.
According to Fayemi, he travels to attract funds to the state to tackle various challenges and move the state forward.
Speaking during a town hall meeting on in Ikea-Ekiti Thursday, he said, ““It is because I know I don’t have the resources to work on the roads that I have been looking for funds. There is no community that will not benefit in the RAAMP rural roads project.”
Listing the gains of his trips, he noted that all rural roads in the district and the state would be attended to under the World Bank’s Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project. He said, “State government officials and those of the World Bank have moved round the 16 local government areas and have looked at the roads.
Fayemi also disclosed that the World Bank had given him funds “to tackle the flood menace and work on the waterways.”
