To permanently checkmate the incidences of recurrent auto-crashes causing deaths of innocent citizens, the Ekiti State Government has pledged its commitment to speedy relocation of the Iworoko Ekiti Central Market, in Irepodun/ Ifelodun Local Government Area of the State.
In the sane fashion, the government also promised to expedite action on the installation of a new Alaworoko that had been vacant since 2019, following the demise of Oba Aladejana to attract development to the town.
The Ekiti State Deputy Governor, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, gave the pledge on Wednesday while receiving stakeholders from the community, led by the Regent, Princess Aladejana, who paid a courtesy visit to her office in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State Capital.
Mrs Afuye, in a statement by her Special Assistant on Media, Victor Ogunje, lamented the recurrent cases of killings of traders and other citizens at Iworoko Market, due to persistent vehicular accident, saying such sordid scenarios will be reversed.
The Deputy Governor disclosed that Governor Biodun Oyebanji is incurably committed to safeguard the lives of the people, adding that the request for the relocation of the central market causing persistent carnages was long overdue
