President Muhammadu Buhari has agreed to visit Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State by October to commission the Elderly Citizens Resort Centre.
The state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, disclosed this when he hosted members of Ekiti Council of Elders led by its vice president, Chief Deji Fasuan, in his office.
The governor who reassured members of Ekiti Council of Elders that their welfare will always be accorded priority said he was glad that the resort centre was initiated completed by his administration
Fayemi said he decided to build the resort as a payback for the elders who have spent the better parts of their lives serving the people both within and outside the state and for supporting his administration over the years.
The governor, who commended some of the elders for their roles in the actualisation of the creation of Ekiti State used the opportunity to warn criminal elements to steer clear of the state, saying monitoring devices have been installed in several parts of the state, thereby leaving no hiding place for criminals.
“Let me thank my father for his very kind words on the efforts of the government in various aspects of development in the state. We would do our best and pass the baton to the next Governor to continue to do that which will be in the best interest of our people.
Fasuan commended Governor Fayemi on his performance as chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum and as the first governor in the state that focused on projects abandoned by the previous government and completed them especially the Secretariat complex which has become a beauty to behold.
