Ekiti Cargo Airport Will Be Completed - Fayemi.

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has reassured the people of Ekiti state that the State’s agro-allied cargo airport and other ongoing legacy projects of his administration would be completed before the expiration of his tenure.
Fayemi made the assurance during an inspection of ongoing projects across the state at the weekend. He said, the State Civic Centre, Oja Oba complex and other projects in focus for completion this year would be ready for commissioning before October.

He pointed out that the agriculture development projects remain his main legacy project amid other legacy projects, this, according to him is borne out of the need to use agriculture business to drive industrialisation, create employment opportunities and ensure food security in the state.

The Governor said: “These are legacy projects and quite important but the real legacy project for us is our agric project. The Agric processing zone, the silo is coming to activities shortly, a juice factory would also be opened alongside the place, Dangote Mill is coming up there, as well as GMK Mill.
“All these are going on, we are on course, the resources are limited, but we are trying our best to ensure we get the best for our people.”
Dr Fayemi said his administration has been using creativity and innovation to manage the limited resources available to the State and to ensure that the projects were not left unattended to.
He said a lot of work has been done at Ikun dairy farm that accommodated local and foreign cows meant to produce 10,000 litres of milk daily.
He said; “Yes, I am confident that this project AIRPORT PROJECT would be completed before the end of my tenure by God’s grace, that’s not even in doubt at in any way, but concerning the other projects, the Civic centre will be commissioned definitely in October, Oja Oba will be commissioned in October as well and all the other projects that we are focused on.
