To enhance security and improve nighttime economic activities, streetlights have also been installed in Ire Akari, Iye Ekiti, and Eda Oniyo Ekiti.
Further interventions include the provision of solar lighting at the Oba’s Palace and the marketplace in Ido Ekiti, ensuring a safer and more vibrant community environment. Healthcare infrastructure has also received attention with the construction of walkways at Otun General Hospital and the procurement of modern medical equipment to improve service delivery at the facility.
To address environmental challenges and improve accessibility, drainage systems have been constructed in flood-prone communities, while grading and maintenance of township and rural roads have been carried out across the constituency.
