As preparations for Governor Biodun Oyebanji’s second term inauguration commenced with the official release of programme of activities, the Planning Committee has highlighted remarkable achievements of the administration in the last four years.
Reflecting on the achievements of the administration since it assumed office in October 2022, the Chairman of the Second term inauguration committee, Mr Oyeniyi Adebayo, who spoke at a press conference in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, said Ekiti people have a lot to look out for as the second term administration would usher in greater development and at a faster pace.
Adebayo, who highlighted activities marking the inauguration, said the programme would kick-start with a Jumat Thanksgiving service at the Central Mosque, Ado Ekiti on Friday, October 2nd, while the inauguration ceremony would hold on October 16th.
Highlighting the infrastructure development of the administration, Adebayo, who is also the Chief of Staff to the governor, noted that the completion of the Ekiti Agro-Allied International Cargo Airport, which commenced commercial flight operations in late 2025, has created opportunities for investment, tourism, trade, commerce and agricultural exports, which has invariably boosted the economy of the state.
