Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has promised to prioritise infrastructure development in the state.
The governor said he is determined to improve the quality of lives of citizens of the state, especially rural dwellers who have been long denied basic services.
He spoke in Ado Ekiti yesterday, after signing three laws recently passed by the state House of Assembly-Ekiti State Roads Fund Law; Ekiti Rural Access Roads Authority Law and the Wealth Fund law, 2023.
Oyebanji added that the signing of the three sector reform laws was geared towards actualising road infrastructure upgrade and the prosperity agenda of the administration.
The Ekiti Wealth Fund, according to him, is a bold attempt to ensure sustainable growth and development as it is designed to coordinate infrastructure, future generation and investment funds to drive his administration’s shared prosperity agenda.
He added that the authority would help foster economic growth through the facilitation of transportation of goods and services that would lead to the improvement in the standard of living of the rural populace.
“These reform bills mark a major milestone in our commitment to transforming the infrastructure landscape and lay a very solid economic foundation for our beloved state. It signifies our resolute dedication to improving the lives of our people especially those in the rural areas who have long yearned for enhanced connectivity, better access to vital services, and the vulnerable who have been negatively affected by various government policies.’’
