I won’t sideline the town that voted against me – Fayemi

Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has promised not to deny communities and towns that voted against him at the last governorship election of projects that will make life easier for them.

He assured his administration will ensure developmental projects reach all nooks and crannies of the state irrespective of how they voted during the July 14, 2018 poll.

Fayemi spoke on Saturday during a meeting with chairmen and

secretaries of all Community Development Associations (CDAs) and town unions at Ekiti Parapo Pavilion, new Iyin Road, Ado-Ekiti, the state capital.

The governor, who was represented by his deputy, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi, lamented many uncompleted self-help, grant-aided projects initiated during his first administration were abandoned by the immediate past government.

He also disclosed community empowerment programmes will be carried out in rural areas especially in those areas of special needs submitted for government consideration during preparation for the 2019 Budget.

According to him, government has commenced the re-verification and assessment of uncompleted self-help “grant aided” projects initiated during his first administration between 2011 and 2014 for completion.

Fayemi also reiterated his commitment in implementing special need projects included in the budgetary preparation with a call on community leaders and opinion moulders to show concern on the usage, sustenance and maintenance of public utilities in their various communities.

He said abandoned potential economic projects like Ire clay block industry, water dams and electrical installations would be revived.

Fayemi said that some private individuals that left at the height of harsh economic environment under the last administration have started to return to boost business activities.
