EKSG EXCO Members Visit Adire Ekiti Hub

Earlier this week, Ekiti State Executive Council (EXCO) members visited the Adire Ekiti Hub, where they commended the empowerment initiatives of the state's First Lady, Dr. Olayemi Oyebanji.

Dr Oyebanji expressed her gratitude to the EXCO members for visiting the hub and highlighted its achievements, stating that over 400 youths from the Ekiti Central and Southern Senatorial Districts have been trained and empowered, with an additional 200 youths from the Ekiti South Senatorial District set to commence training soon.

She revealed that demand for adire products has surged, both within the state and in the diaspora, due to their distinct quality and cultural significance. The hub has also established a sustainable arrangement by purchasing finished products from the youths, thereby supporting their business growth and providing a viable alternative to handouts.

Dr Oyebanji encouraged the EXCO members to embrace and promote the locally made products, which proudly showcase the state's cultural heritage.

Leading the delegation, Secretary to the State Government, Dr (Mrs.) Habibat Adubiaro praised the initiative as impressive, encouraging, and impactful. She pledged that the EXCO members would facilitate training and empowerment for youths in their respective constituencies and promote adire fabrics in government functions and events to further boost the visibility and viability of the local textile industry.

The EXCO members lauded the hub's positive impact on the state's socio-economic development. They also expressed a desire to partner with Adire Ekiti Hub to intensify youth empowerment, encourage sustainable MSMEs, promote indigenous textile crafts, and enhance the economic potential of the craft in the modern market.

LEADERSHIP: WE NEED MORE GOVERNORS LIKE OYEBANJI, SAYS VICE PRESIDENT SHETTIMA

Vice President @officialSKSM has said Nigeria needs more Governors like Ekiti State Governor, Mr @biodunaoyebanji whose style of governance would bring all political Stakeholders on board to enhance the educational system, security and socio economic growth of the sub nationals.

Senator Shettima stated this during the official launch of “Navigating the Politics of Universal Education Policies in Nigeria”, a book written by a former Deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Professor Modupe Adelabu, in Abuja on Thursday.

The event was attended by the Chief Of Staff to the President, Rt Hon. @femigbaja, Former Governors of Ekiti, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, Dr Kayode Fayemi (@kfayemi) former Ogun State Governor, Senator @SIAmosun Amosun; APC chieftain, Chief Bisi Akande, Minister of State for Health, Dr @DrTunjiAlausa; Speaker, Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mr Adeoye Aribasoye, and prominent traditional rulers.

Vice President Shettima who narrated his first meeting with Governor Oyebanji during Dr Fayemi’s administration, where Oyebanji served as Secretary to the State Government. He recalled telling the then SSG that he would be the next Governor of the State based on his impression of him.

The Vice President said he had observed Governor Oyebanji as Governor and he is impressed by the Governor’s unique leadership style which, according to the Vice President, has united all tendencies in the state with attendant remarkable growth and development across different sectors.

He restated the importance of continuity of good governance, saying Ekiti is fortunate to have elected Oyebanji as their Governor, adding that the Governor has distinguished himself among his peers in Nigeria.

Vice President Shettima said: "honestly I am very proud of Governor Oyebanji. He exhumes humility, he exhumes acceptability and accessibility. He has been able to carry all the tendencies in Ekiti State.

“Former Governor Niyi Adebayo is here, my friend former Governor Kayode Fayemi and his wife are all here, Senator Adetunmbi and many other Stakeholders in Ekiti State are all here to celebrate Professor Modupe Adelabu and also to identify with the Governor.

“We need Governors like Oyebanji in Nigeria. Governors that will not work with everybody regardless of their political differences, Governors that will not chase shadows; Governors that have the capacity to be humble and height of their glories."

Speaking further, the Vice President congratulated the writer who is a former deputy Governor of Ekiti State, Prof Adelabu for sharing her thoughts, expertise and experiences as a distinguished Scholar in a book form. He urged policy makers at all levels to take advantage of the book.

In his remarks, Governor Oyebanji said education is a critical component of nation building, stressing that this informed the decision of his administration to put necessary frameworks in place towards improving educational infrastructure in Ekiti.

This, according to him has made Ekiti to have the highest number of basic school enrollment in Nigeria, with the provision of basic needs to aid teaching and learning as well as ensuring that gender mainstreaming remains an integral part of approach to education.

Governor Oyebanji lauded the Professor Adelabu for her contributions to the education and political development of the state, saying the book will be beneficial to all policy makers in the sector.

According to him, "Professor Adelabu's life is a testament to the abiding faith in God either as a princess who got married to a prince or as a mother who has raised distinguished children that are here today and we are thankful for her life as an academics who rose to the zenith of her profession by becoming a Professor and as a politician who at a one point in time was the Deputy Governor of Ekiti State."
