The NEWMAP programme in Ekiti State was active during Governor Fayemi's tenure, and started the Ogbomu culvert construction or channelisation work at Irele and Ipao Ekiti. Physical visits to the site shows that the Ekiti State government has commenced the construction of the Ogbomu culvert and channelisation of gully erosion and flood control in the state. The Ekiti Digital Communications Department also reported this on the state's media channels.

However, Governor Kayode Fayemi did not complete the Ogbomu culvert that he started. A visit to the site of the project shows clearly that the channelisation was not completed.
