Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to rural development, emphasizing the importance of community growth and development. Speaking at the 32nd edition of Isan Day ceremonies and the launching of a N250 million development fund in Isan Ekiti, Oyebanji stressed that his government has adopted a unique Rural Development Policy to unlock the potentials of all towns in the state.
The governor, represented by his deputy, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, noted that his love for community development has driven his administration to distribute projects evenly across the three senatorial districts. This approach, he explained, ensures that no town suffers unwarranted neglect. Oyebanji appealed to the communities to promote self-development by pursuing projects that complement the government’s efforts.
Highlighting some of the projects implemented by his administration, Oyebanji mentioned the construction of intra and inter-town road infrastructures, the opening of access rural roads to boost agriculture, and the establishment of cluster farming in Ipao and Emure axis. He also emphasized his government’s commitment to promoting arts and culture in the state.
Former Governor Kayode Fayemi commended Oyebanji’s performance in the last two years, describing him as a pride to the progressive fold. Fayemi urged his kinsmen to continue supporting Oyebanji’s government to attract more development to Isan Ekiti and the state at large.
The Onisan of Isan Ekiti, Oba Gabriel Ayodele Adejuwon, appreciated Oyebanji and the sons and daughters of the town for their passion for peace and unity. Oyebanji’s commitment to rural development and community growth has been evident in his administration’s projects and policies, aimed at ensuring that all communities in Ekiti State benefit from his government’s initiatives.
