The Ekiti State Government has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to sustainable development and inclusive governance, highlighting the significant progress recorded under the administration of Governor Biodun Oyebanji since his assumption of office in October 2022.
In a statement issued in Ado Ekiti, the State Commissioner for Information, Rt. Hon. Taiwo Olatunbosun, stated that the present administration has deliberately consolidated on the achievements of previous governments, with a clear emphasis on continuity, efficient service delivery, and people-oriented policies aimed at improving the welfare of citizens.
He noted that the Oyebanji administration has given priority to the completion of previously abandoned projects, while also initiating new ones under its Infrastructure Development agenda. This, he said, has resulted in the successful rehabilitation of critical road networks, thereby enhancing transportation, facilitating commerce, and strengthening rural-urban integration across the State.
The Commissioner further disclosed that the government has revitalized the agricultural sector through the reintroduction of extension services, provision of essential farm inputs, and the implementation of youth-focused agricultural initiatives. He added that the clearing of thousands of hectares of farmland has not only boosted food production but also created employment opportunities for residents.
On healthcare, Olatunbosun stated that the administration has undertaken the revitalization of primary healthcare centres and introduced mobile healthcare services targeted at underserved communities, thereby improving access to quality and affordable healthcare across the State.
In the education sector, he emphasized that the government has made substantial investments in the renovation of public primary and secondary schools, the integration of digital learning technologies, and the continuous professional development of teachers. These interventions, he noted, are aimed at enhancing educational standards and equipping students with the requisite skills for global competitiveness.
He further noted that, through various empowerment programmes, the administration has expanded opportunities for youth employment and entrepreneurship under the Economic Growth and Job Creation pillar, one of the six strategic pillars of the government.
Olatunbosun added that ongoing innovation-driven initiatives are positioning Ekiti State as an emerging hub for knowledge-based industries, while also contributing to increased internally generated revenue.
He observed that Governor Oyebanji’s leadership has been widely acknowledged for its emphasis on inclusiveness, transparency, and unity, which has fostered a stable and peaceful political environment, as well as strengthened collaboration among stakeholders in the State.
While soliciting the continued support of all stakeholders, the Commissioner reiterated the administration’s steadfast commitment to sustainable development, improved quality of life for all citizens, and inclusive growth that ensures no community is left behind. He stressed that the achievements recorded thus far represent key milestones within a broader vision of shared prosperity for the people of Ekiti State.
