The Governor of Ekiti State; Dr. Kayode Fayemi; has been praised for his cosmopolitan developmental vision for Ekiti even as he was described as a Governor who possesses a solid robust sense of governance.
The Director-General, Development Agenda for Western Nigeria Commission, DAWN Commission, Mr Seye Oyeleye made this observation while hosting Ambassador Wale Ojo -Lanre, the Senior Special Assistant, Tourism Development to Ekiti State Governor who paid him a visit in his office, located in Cocoa House, Ibadan, Oyo State.
Ambassador Ojo – Lanre said his visit to DAWN Commission was propelled by the need to acquaint the Commission of Dr Kayode Fayemi’s tourism vision for Ekiti and the necessity for the Commission becoming a partner and a strong partaker of the vision.
He pointed out that DAWN Commission has not only proven to all, its capability and capacity of engendering and pathfinding developmental strides but also nurturing them to fruition and blossoming.
Ambassador Ojo- Lanre said that tourism development in a state cannot be localised bearing in mind that tourism is about luring of a mass of people to a destination and since DAWN Commission is of regional essence, it should be involved in the task of making Ekiti the destination of choice first for the people of South West and then to others.
He commended DAWN Commission for being the furnace that minted the Amotekun Western Nigeria Security outfit which is effectively complementing the nation’s security agencies at ensuring that peace and security reign in South West.
Mr. Oyeleye who commended Ambassador Ojo – Lanre for the visit said that he was not expecting less from Ekiti because the state is being governed by a man who has a firm understanding of the essence of government, the need to govern well and the attitude of a philosopher ruler.
He assured that the Commission will not steer off from its pristine objective of driving development in Western Nigeria and also will continue to support Ekiti Tourism Development and facilitate both investment and investors for that sector in the state.
