The Governor’s wife made the call during an empowerment programme put up by the Chairperson of Ekiti South East Council Development area, LCDA, Mrs Antonia Alabi Omonusi
She explained that giving priority to social amenities and other things that could empower people for self reliant would ensure a veritable means of making direct impact in the lives of rural dwellers and subsequently compliment the efforts of state government in the area of human capital development.
She expressed confidence in the administration of Ekiti South East LCDA Chairperson, Mrs Antonia Alaba Omonusi, who had excuted various capital projects across nine communities of the development areas like the basic health center at Araromi Oke Ekiti and an ultra modern administrative block inside the Secretariat complex of the LCDA.
Dr Oyebanji who used the platform to commend the community and the people of the LCDA for their support for Governor Biodun Oyebanji led administration noted that the strides of the chairperson have only been possible because of the positive disposition of government to development at the councils areas.
The First Lady therefore appreciated all traditional rulers who supported the council chairperson in the execution of some empowerment materials to the beneficiaries like motorcycles, refrigerators, grinding machines,hairdryers, sewing machines generating set cash gifts to driver’s unions,iyalojas among others.
Speaking on behalf of other traditional rulers at the event, the Asaya of Isaya Community, Oba Matthew Ajayi urged all stakeholders in the development of the state to provide adequate security for government properties.
