FEMTEX Hails Governor Oyebanji on Birthday, Credits Rural Revolution

Ekiti State Commissioner for Rural and Community Development, Hon. Abimbola Oluwafemi Awe (FEMTEX), has extended heartfelt birthday congratulations to Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. In his felicitation, Hon. Awe celebrated the Governor’s unwavering commitment to transforming the rural landscape of Ekiti State, highlighting a policy of direct and rapid support that has brought visible change to every community.

Hon. Awe emphasized that under Governor Oyebanji’s leadership, self-help community projects have received an unprecedented boost. He noted the administration’s swift approval and release of mobilization funds for critical infrastructure, including the massive renovation of traditional palaces, construction of town halls, culverts, boreholes, and drainages. This efficient process, he stated, has not only accelerated development but also empowered local contractors who are now the primary executors of these projects.

According to the Commissioner, this strategic approach has a dual benefit: it physically opens up farmsteads for seamless movement of farmers and agricultural goods, while also strengthening the state’s economy through a strict local content policy. He praised the Governor’s “Zero Tolerance for Capital Flight” mantra, which has ensured that project funds circulate within Ekiti, building local capacity and fostering indigenous entrepreneurship.

In his birthday wishes, Hon. Awe described Governor Oyebanji as a true champion of rural emancipation. He prayed for the Governor’s continued good health, divine wisdom, and renewed strength to lead the state to greater heights, affirming that the tangible developments across rural communities stand as the finest birthday testament to his people-focused leadership.
