Oyebanji, our visionary governor, is paving the way for a brighter and more technologically advanced future for Ekiti State through his efforts to establish a partnership with Belgium in the fields of agriculture and intellectual property.

COMRADES, 30 years plan is good, but implementation has always been the challenge of any agreement that Nigerian leaders have been signing since

What are you talking about? We need to focus on our own country's development first, oyebanji!

Governor Oyebanji, your dedication to seeking partnerships for the advancement of technology, agriculture and intellectual capacity in Ekiti State is commendable and will surely bring great progress to our state. Keep up the amazing work!

Oyebanji is on international levels. Ekiti to the world.

which international level is that?

is it "international level" of seeking?

how has his international level reflected in him delivering good governance?

With all the numerous Professors in Ekiti, they are still looking for partnership so they can start borrowing money from them.


Why can't we develop on our own?

What is the slowpoke saying.......?

This gov is really trying for his people

This and that partnership： In as much as EKITI state need all these developments and support, Oyebanji should be careful of the contents of these documents he's signing so he doesn't incur onto the state more problems than he's trying to solve.
As an optimist, I want to believe this is a positive move, though and pray it benefits, in totality, the people and economy of EKITI state on the long and short run.

Belgium bawo .. we don't need any colaboeation with those francophone wicked countries..

Great job in d news but nothing on ground.


Physically nothing!
