Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Governor of Ekiti State, Makes Ekiti Airport a Reality – Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the governor of Ekiti State, has stated that his administration has completed all of the abandoned projects it inherited from previous administrations and paid the backlog of several allowances due to political office holders who served in the state between 1999 and 2022. Ekiti Airport is a dream come true.

During his State-of-the-State Address to the State House of Assembly on Friday, Governor Fayemi made the announcement as part of the celebrations marking his retirement as governor of the state.
The Governor maintained that his administration successfully laid a solid foundation and established an enduring socio-economic path for subsequent administrations to build on, despite the fact that he acknowledged that there was still a lot of development work to be done in the state.
He explained that the five-point development agenda, which includes addressing the infrastructure deficit and developing the economy, as well as restoring Ekiti’s values and dignity, remained the primary focus of his administration.
Dr. Fayemi took advantage of the session, which was attended by high-ranking government officials, members of the State Executive Council and the State Assembly, and traditional rulers, to express gratitude to important stakeholders, such as his wife, his predecessors, the State Executive Council, legislators, the judiciary, the Ekiti state civil service, development partners, traditional rulers, religious leaders, and a slew of other individuals.
Additionally, Dr. Fayemi gave the impression that the Ekiti International Airport was a dream come true and would be opened this week.He went on to say that the airport falls into the CAT-9 4E category and has a 3.2-kilometer runway that is big enough to handle a Boeing 747-400.
The Governor, who was greeted with thunderous applause by the audience, talked about some of the administration’s accomplishments in the areas of social investment, the knowledge economy, and the development of infrastructure and industry.He claimed that his administration constructed and renovated more roads and schools than all previous administrations put together.
In addition, he pleaded for the incoming administration of Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s prayers, support, advice, and direction so that he could build on the successes of previous administrations.
Every aspect of our economy and social life received adequate attention from the government.Agriculture, water supply, social services, healthcare, education, and road construction were given the priority they deserved.
The journey that began on October 16, 2018, will soon come to an end.We made the most of the mandate that the people of Ekiti gave us, and there is abundant evidence that our future as a people and as a state is bright.We promised to restore our people’s values and dignity, address infrastructure decay, and develop the economy when we took office.
“We are honored to bring you the following feedback because we have remained focused on the mission and have fulfilled our promises in accordance with our 5-point development agenda.
“Therefore, the JKF2.0 administration has left a governing template to the people of Ekiti that subsequent governments can own, improve, and use for the general well-being of our people,” the statement reads.
The Republican Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Rt.Hon.Funminiyi Afuye praised Governor Fayemi for keeping his promises and making Ekiti, which had been at its lowest point in terms of economic activity, a popular destination for investors and tourists as well as a place where people can work, live, and play.
The Speaker mentioned that the State House of Assembly thrived as a full-fledged arm of government under his administration with maximum cooperation and collaboration from the executive arms of government at the event, where Assembly members praised Governor Fayemi’s personality.
