BREAKING: Sunny Ekpeson Orders Road Clearing Leading to Major Farmlands in Etsako East for Farmers to Identify Strange Faces from Afar

The Executive Chairman of Etsako East Local Government Council, Rt. Hon. Sunny Ekpetika Ekpeson has ordered the immediate clearing of major roads leading to farmlands to strengthen security and protect farmers.

The groundbreaking directive is aimed at ensuring that farmers can access their lands without fear while also improving visibility along farm routes to quickly identify unfamiliar or suspicious individuals approaching their fields.

For months, concerns over insecurity, kidnapping, and violent attacks have weighed heavily on farming communities. But Chairman Ekpeson’s latest action sends a clear message: the safety of Etsako East residents is non-negotiable.

In a statement released from his media office, the Etsako East council boss Ekpetika reaffirmed his commitment to restoring total peace and eliminating criminal activities within the council area. He stressed that agricultural productivity remains the backbone of the local economy, and farmers must be empowered to work confidently and safely.

“This administration will not fold its arms while our people live in fear,” he declared. “We are determined to flush out insecurity and create an environment where every farmer can cultivate the land without intimidation.”

The road-clearing exercise is expected to open up thick bushes and hidden spots that criminals often exploit, thereby enhancing surveillance and enabling community vigilance. Residents have applauded the initiative, describing it as timely, proactive, and people-centered.

As bulldozers begin work across strategic routes, optimism is rising. For many in Etsako East, this action symbolizes more than infrastructure—it represents courage, leadership, and a promise kept.

Under the leadership of Rt. Hon. Sunny Ekpetika Ekpeson, Etsako East, is taking bold steps toward reclaiming its peace, protecting its people, and securing a prosperous future for generations to come.
