Ekiti State Rural Access and Agricultural Marketing Project (RAAMP) has felicitated the State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, on his recognition as the Governor of the Year by Leadership Newspaper.
Congratulating the Governor, the State Project Coordinator, Hon Sunday Adunmo said the prestigious media award is a testament to his exceptional leadership style, unwavering dedication, and remarkable achievements in transforming Ekiti State into a model of development and progress.
Adunmo who described Governor Oyebanji as an “addicted developer,” emphasized that the Governor’s visionary leadership has brought about all-round development to every part of Ekiti State.
He noted that under the governor’s watch, the state has witnessed a significant surge in infrastructural development, boosting both economic growth and social welfare across rural communities.
Adunmo added that Oyebanji’s commitment to sustainable development has set a benchmark for leadership in Nigeria.
“Under Governor Oyebanji’s leadership, the RAAMP initiative in Ekiti State has made tremendous strides in improving rural connectivity. To date, over 132 kilometers of rural roads are being constructed, significantly easing transportation challenges for farmers, traders, and residents. These roads have opened up rural areas, facilitating easier access to markets, healthcare, and educational facilities; directly contributing to the state’s food security and rural development agenda”.
“We are also on the verge of awarding an additional 145 kilometers of rural roads. This move is part of the Governor’s strategic plan to further enhance rural infrastructure, create employment opportunities, and stimulate agricultural productivity. Such initiatives align with his broader vision of transforming Ekiti into a hub of economic activity and ensuring inclusive growth that benefits all citizens, especially those in the rural areas”, Adunmo said.
The project coordinator praised Governor Oyebanji for his unwavering focus on development that transcends mere infrastructure, noting that the leadership award affirms that Ekiti State under Oyebanji’s stewardship is on the right path to sustainable development.
“Governor Oyebanji’s dedication to improving the quality of life for all Ekiti indigenes through strategic investments and visionary governance has earned him national recognition. Ekiti RAAMP joins the entire people of Ekiti in celebrating this achievement and looks forward to more milestones under his leadership. We celebrate his recognition as Leadership Newspaper’s Governor of the Year and pledge our continued support in realizing his vision of a prosperous, resilient, and inclusive Ekiti”, the project coordinator stated.
