The Ekiti State Commissioner for Works, Mr Sola Adebayo, has warned individuals and corporate organisations against pasting posters on the flyover bridge undergoing construction in the state capital, describing the act as an offence.

Adebayo gave the warning in Ado-Ekiti over the weekend, stressing that the defacing of the Okeyinmi–Ejigbo Phase II Flyover under construction would not be tolerated by the state government.

According to him, the practice of pasting posters on public infrastructure, particularly on the flyover project, is unacceptable and capable of undermining it’s outer structure and aesthetic value.

The commissioner stated that anyone caught pasting posters or engaging in any act capable of defacing the flyover for whatever reason would be sanctioned by the state government.

He urged residents, corporate organisations and political groups to refrain from such activities and support the government’s efforts to maintain public infrastructure.

Adebayo also appealed to members of the public to strictly comply with the road diversion arrangements put in place by the state government around the construction area to ensure safety and smooth flow of traffic.

Speaking on the development, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Works, Engr. Olukayode Ibijola, also emphasised that pasting posters on the new flyover structure is strictly prohibited.

Ibijola explained that the flyover is a major infrastructure project designed to improve traffic flow and enhance the beauty of the state capital, adding that defacing the structure with posters would undermine the purpose of the project.
