Ekiti Rising: Building a Brighter Future with Strategic Partnerships
Fellow Ekitians, Partners, and Stakeholders,
Ekiti State is currently witnessing an unprecedented era of transformation. Under the visionary leadership of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, and fortified by the unwavering support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we are proving that governance rooted in synergy delivers extraordinary results.
A Partnership of Purpose: Federal-State Synergy.
It has become crystal clear that the "Father-Son" alliance between the President and Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji is not just on the surface, but rather a pipeline for progress. Some of the key wins of this alliance include:
Critical Infrastructure: Secured federal approvals for the reconstruction of the Itawure-Aramoko-Ado and Aramoko-Ijero-Ifaki roads.
Security as a Prime Concern: The establishment of the 148 Army Battalion Base in Ekiti, significantly bolstering our regional security.
The Debt-Free Infrastructural Funding: Completion of the Ado-Iworoko-Ifaki dual carriageway—and 350km of other road projects—without a single kobo of external borrowing.
Governance That Works:
Ekiti State under BAO is investing in programs and projects that impact positively on the people. With ₦200bn committed to infrastructure and ₦150bn already disbursed from federal revenue streams, Ekiti is being rebuilt on a foundation of fiscal responsibility.
1. Economic Empowerment & Wealth Creation
* Youth-in-Agriculture: Transforming Ekiti into a commercial farming hub and creating thousands of sustainable jobs.
* Financial Inclusion: Launching the Agency Banking Rollout to bring banking to every corner of the state and passing the Employment Trust Fund Bill into law.
* Future-Proofing: Launching the Ekiti Start-up Garage and the Labour Market Information System (LMIS) to connect talent with opportunity.
2. Uplifting the Vulnerable
* Healthcare: A ₦3.04bn upgrade of hospital facilities to ensure quality care for all.
* Inclusion: Targeted micro-credit and vocational training for women and persons with disabilities.
* Rural Revitalization: 13 rural road contracts worth ₦17.2bn (under RAAMP) are breathing "new life" into towns like Iworoko, Afao, and Are.
The Momentum is Unstoppable
From the Ultra-Modern Revenue House to the new flyover networks and expanded electricity grids, the evidence of progress is visible in every LGA. We are creating wealth, ensuring security, and building a state where every citizen can thrive.
Let’s Keep the Engine Running.
To sustain this golden era of development, we must maintain the leadership that made it possible.
* Support Governor Oyebanji in June 2026 for a brighter, bolder Ekiti.
* Support President Tinubu in 2027 for continued federal synergy.
Together, we are building the Ekiti of our dreams.
