The road which was first constructed by the Administration of the former Military Governor of the then Western Region of the late General Adeyinka Adebayo stopped at Ara Ekiti and the short lived administration of Chief Segun Oni awarded its construction to Isunbode Ekiti end and had since been abandoned over the years by successful administrations, thus, making It impassable over the years.
