Flood Submerges Sections of Ipere–Ido Ekiti Road Project
What happened
Sections of the ongoing Ipere–Ido Ekiti Road reconstruction project in Ekiti State were submerged by floodwater on September 22, 2026. This prompted residents to question the road’s drainage system and durability, especially since the project is nearing completion. The road had previously been allocated N505.4 million by the Ekiti State Executive Council in July 2026 for full asphalt overlays to support heavy traffic movement.

Why it matters
The flooding raises concerns about the structural integrity of the road, which was awarded to Messrs Syriton Nigeria Ltd in March 2025. Residents are now calling on the Ekiti State Government and the contractor to address drainage challenges before the project is finished.
