The National President of Maryhill High School, Ado Ekiti Old Students Association, Mr. Dare Daramola, has lauded Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, for his commitment to boosting food production and security in the state.
Daramola also praised the governor for his interventions in addressing the infrastructure deficit in the state as well as the payment of outstanding gratuities for retired public servants.
In a statement released in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, Daramola highlighted Oyebanji’s achievements, saying, “Noteworthy is the special passion of the governor for food production, which has earned the state recognition as a pilot state for the agricultural revolution being championed by the Federal Government for the southwest states.
“This will not only go a long way in providing food for the populace but also engage the teeming youths.”
He commended the transformation of the state capital and other parts of Ekiti in infrastructure development, stating, “Anyone coming to Ado Ekiti will agree with me that the ancient town can be described as the fastest-growing state capital in the country.”
Daramola encouraged the governor to continue his efforts in facilitating a good road network across the three senatorial districts of Ekiti State. He noted, “The rate of infrastructural interventions across the state is a great encouragement and confirmation that the electorate picked the right choice, having expressed confidence in his ability as a public servant whose contributions had been noticed in the governance of the state.”
He also commended Oyebanji for prioritizing the well-being of retirees, stating, “As of today, our listening and proactive governor has committed not less than N10bn to the payment of pensions and gratuities. Now imagine if successive administrations had been showing similar commitments to the sector, by now Oyebanji would be working on other sectors of the economy on a larger scale.”
The alumni president further stated that Oyebanji had rekindled people’s hope in democracy and urged residents to continue supporting the governor “to sustain the good works in the interest of the generality of the people of Ekiti State.”
“Voting Oyebanji for another term in office will enable him to consolidate on the various achievements being recorded in the state.”
