Fayemi Unveils 30-year Development Plan For Ekiti

With barely two weeks to the end of his administration, the governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, has unveiled a 30-year development plan for the state, to have a continuity in governance that will better the lives of the people.

The governor made this known yesterday at the Third Interactive Session between Ekiti State government and its development partners in Nigeria organised in Abuja to unveil a 30-year development plan by the government for the people of the state.

Fayemi said as a government, the administration would continue to work out modalities and evolve new ways of making life better for the Ekiti people, despite the little resources available to the state.

He said the meeting was also to update the development partners about their collective progress in the state; to acknowledge and appreciate their support for the government and people of Ekiti State and; to introduce the governor-elect to them, with whom they would be dealing with going forward from October 16, 2022.

“As a government, our administration continues to work out modalities and evolve new ways of making life better for our people, despite the little resources available to the state. I thank everyone that has played one role or the other to support us thus far, especially our development partners. I believe if we continue to work together as a team, we will certainly achieve the progress and development we all yearn for.

“As a responsible and responsive government, we have, over the years, deliberately prioritised and focused on the growth, development, and wellbeing of our people.

To this end, we have to learn from the past by assessing where we succeeded so that we can replicate that success, and understand areas we have fallen short to correct them.

“In the course of our Second interactive session, I reported to you some landmark achievements we collectively accomplished, and categorized them in line with our five priority areas or pillars. They are governance; agriculture and rural development; social investment; knowledge economy; and infrastructure and industrial development.

“I am glad to further inform you that some of the projects listed in the report are being commissioned now to commemorate the fourth anniversary of this administration. We could not have achieved this much without the support of our development partners. Your impacts have been feasible and greatly felt on all the five pillars of this administration,” he said
