Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose has congratulated former Governor of the State & his predecessor, Kayode Fayemi over his appointment as Solid Mineral Minister, urging him to use his position for the commercial exploitation of the abundant solid mineral resources in his homestate, Ekiti. Fayose expressed his congratulations in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka.

He stated that President Buhari must have considered the need for commercial exploitation of the solid minerals spread across towns and villages in Ekiti State before arriving at the choice of Fayemi as Solid Minerals Minister.

“Ekiti has solid minerals like clay kaolin, cassiterite, tin ore, columbite, bauxite (Alluminium Ore), foundry sand and charconite granite. Even in Isan-Ekiti, Fayemi’s hometown, there is clay kaolin that can be used for abrasive, plastics, ceramics ware, pharmaceuticals, textiles, fertilizers, white tiles and insulator wares pencils. Now that the Federal Government is talking about diversification of the economy, Fayemi should use his position to assist Ekiti State in harnessing its solid mineral resources for the economic benefit of the State and Nigeria. I therefore congratulate Fayemi for this appointment and thank President Buhari for the appointment. It is my prayers that God, in His infinite mercies will grant him (Fayemi) the wisdom and strength to use the new position for the betterment of Ekiti State in particular and Nigeria in general,” he said.

Nice gesture from Fayose. This is the type of opposition we're talking about not noise making type. Atleast Fayose for once welcome PMB development. God Bless Nigeria.

Fayose is a rare gem. That's why you're our role model.

cool

that's False's lifestyle...

Fayose - a politician
Fayemi - an administrator, the reason he lost the last election to a smart and grassroot politician like Fayose.

Commendable gesture from Fayose but dude loves being in the news.

It's a win-win situation because :

Fayose, a former Governor and now a Governor again and Fayemi, a former Governor and now a minister. Trust that Fayose might want to be a Senator when he is done with his tenure.

Same old people being recycled.
