Nigeria @59: Fayemi tasks Nigerians on greater commitment

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi has called on Nigerians to show greater commitment, to enable greatness as the country yesterday marked 59th independence anniversary.

Fayemi, in a goodwill message signed by his Chief Press secretary, Yinka Oyebode in Ado-Ekiti yesterday, also congratulated the people of Ekiti State on the 23rd anniversary of the creation of the state.

The governor, however, urged residents both home and abroad to join hands with the government in repositioning the state as a destination of choice for living and investments.

Fayemi said his administration “is laying a strong foundation for an all-round development of the state, focusing on its five pillars of development and through huge investments in knowledge economy, urban, agricultural, industrial and human capital development.”

He went on: “I congratulate Nigerians on the country’s 59th independence anniversary, and I urge all to remain steadfast in our collective effort to make the country a better place for us all.

“Similarly, I felicitate with Ekitikete on the 23rd anniversary of the creation of our dear state. We may not have attained all that we would love to attain. But we can look back and give thanks to God for how much he has helped us.

“Mention must also be made of the efforts made by successive administrations to develop the state as well as the leadership that have been provided by all the former chief executives of the state.

“The task of rebuilding and repositioning the state is a collective effort and through your cooperation, we shall build a truly prosperous state and put our state firmly on the path of honour and irreversible development.”
