A promise of accelerated development
Urging residents to expect a higher level of performance in his second term, the Governor noted that the fresh mandate would serve as a catalyst for his administration to work even harder in addressing the core needs and aspirations of the populace.
On his blueprint for the next four years, Oyebanji revealed that his administration would stick to the state’s established development roadmap while remaining flexible enough to adapt to emerging priorities.
“We have a development guide and we will continue to faithfully implement that plan. At the same time, if there are new issues or areas that require attention, we will review them and ensure they are accommodated. Our focus remains the comprehensive implementation of our development agenda for the benefit of all Ekiti people,” the Governor added.
