Governor of Ekiti State and chairman of the Nigeria’s Governor’s Forum, Dr. John Kayode Fayemi has listed gains of his second term in office which are, according to him, immemorial legacies for which Ekiti will ever be proud of and be eternally grateful.
He also said that his sterling performance justified the reason for which Ekiti should vote massively for the APC governorship flagbearer, Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, aka BAO.
Governor Fayemi who was in high spirit reeled out some of his laudable achievements during his routine inspection of some of the projects in Ado-Ekiti which included a Bus Terminal, Ekiti Agro-allied Cargo Airport and Ekiti Knowledge Zone (EKZ) along Ijan-Ekiti road, as well as Harding Memorial Model College in Ado-Ekiti, among others.
The presidential hopeful of the APC said: “The Bus Terminal is part of our Central Business District urban renewal project, and it is designed to address the issue of indiscriminate parking and disorganized motor park activities which contribute to traffic gridlocks within Ado metropolis.
“Ekiti International Agro Cargo Airport is a critical component of our broader strategy to make Ekiti a knowledge hub, a medical tourism destination, an agro cargo transport, and an Infotech hub.
“We are also designing Ekiti Knowledge Zone to take advantage of technology for scientific research, industrialisation, and innovative services, as well as attract business process outsourcing companies and the back office teams of large tech companies.”
Speaking further about the huge benefits of the legacy projects, he added that: “Boarding Memorial Model College is being constructed as a two storey building of 36 classrooms with over 50 toilets, chemistry, biology and physics laboratories, as well as ICT and home economics laboratories.
“Other facilities that will be provided in the two storey edifice include a large examination hall, staff rooms, administrative offices, perimeter fencing, a football pitch, a basketball court, parking space and water treatment plant, amongst others.
Our administration will not relent in moving Ekiti State to the next level of sustainable development in all sectors, ” he assured.
