Residents of Orisunmibare Community in Ado Local Government Area of Ekiti State have commended the state’s governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi for his giant strides at ensuring rapid development of rural communities in the state.
The residents described the positive move of Governor Fayemi’s administration to develop all facets of the state as a departure from what obtained in the past where the rural areas were neglected.
In a letter of appreciation signed by the Chairman and General Secretary of the community, Messrs Ojo M.O. and Bamidele Ariyo respectively, expressed their delight at the approval of their community as a beneficiary of the Poverty Alleviation Programme of Governor Fayemi’s administration.
The letter reads, “We are extremely happy over this your effort to alleviate our poverty and have a taste of your progressive drum in developing Orisunmibare community as your footpath in this direction will forever remain indelible in our minds.”
The community solicited more government presence and attention by approving of more projects that will boost the socio-economic activities in the community.
This is not unconnected with the recent disbursement of over N180million to nineteen communities of the state where governor Fayemi reiterated the commitment of his administration to concentrate more on rural development.
Governor Fayemi had assured Ekiti people that his government urgently paid counterpart fund to World Bank to enable it access the needed support through EKCSDA to ensure rapid rural development of the state.
His words, “Today’s ceremony is one of the multiplier effects of the Ekiti State value restoration agenda of this administration, and we are poised to make similar meaningful impact in every stratum of our society.
“As a government that wants both urban and rural developments, we paid our own counterpart fund to activate this World Bank project geared towards improving the living condition of people at the grassroots. We are proud to toe this line and we are determined to sustain this developmental drive.”
