The last time I travelled to Abuja from Ado Ekiti by road was about three years ago. The road was bad and it took me six hours, but the road has presently gone from bad to worse, such that the trip, which is 406 kilometres, took seven hours, instead of about four hours. I travelled on 25 June and came back via the same route on 27 June. It was an excruciating journey, to and fro.
On our return trip to Ado-Ekiti two days later, I decided to pay attention to the state of the road, right from the Central Business District, Abuja to Ado Ekiti, to know how many kilometres are motorable out of the 406-kilometre distance. I discovered that the longest stretch of the road, on which we drove non-stop for about one hour, 24 minutes was from the Central Business District to Abaji, which is about 118 kilometres.
The Oyebanji administration is presently constructing a ring road that would complement the Abuja-Ado-Ekiti road and be beneficial to travellers transiting through Ekiti State to other states. The ring road will save motorists the hassles of passing through Ado township roads and will reduce travel time.
