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.
