Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has named newly constructed government buildings after former governors of the state in recognition of their contributions to the development of Ekiti, Peak Newspaper reports.
In a statement, the Special Adviser on Media to the Governor, Olayinka Oyebode said two of the buildings, named after immediate past Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, and former Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose, will be commissioned on Friday, July 31, 2026, and Monday, August 3, 2026, respectively.
According to him, another building named after former Governor, Engr. Segun Oni, is at an advanced stage of completion and is expected to be commissioned in October.
The former governors—Fayemi, Fayose and Oni—will serve as Special Guests of Honour and personally commission the buildings named after them on the respective dates.
The development follows a similar gesture by Governor Oyebanji in October 2024, when he named the remodelled Presidential Lodge after the first civilian governor of the state, Otunba Niyi Adebayo.
The facility was subsequently commissioned by Adebayo as part of activities marking the second anniversary of the Oyebanji administration.
The commissioning of the newly named buildings is expected to mark the beginning of another phase of project inaugurations by the governor as he rounds off his first term and prepares for the inauguration of his second term in office.
According to the state government, the initiative underscores Oyebanji’s commitment to completing and delivering projects initiated by his administration for public use, in line with the Shared Prosperity Agenda of his administration.
