Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, and the former Governor of Borno State, Senator Kashim Ibrahim Shettima, and other guests will be in Ekiti State, on Thursday, for a mid-term retreat of the administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi.
Fayemi who was inaugurated on October 16, 2018, as governor of the state celebrated his second anniversary two months ago.
The two-day retreat, according to the Chairman of the Planning Committee and Secretary to the State Government, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, would, among other things, involve a comprehensive review of the developmental efforts of the administration in relation to its five pillars of development.
He said all serving Commissioners, Special Advisers and Permanent Secretaries in the state and some top government officials would participate in the retreat with the theme, “Finishing Well and Sustaining Progressive leadership in Ekiti State.”
Aside Fashola and Shettima, the SSG disclosed that Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi (Ekiti North); renowned Economist, Dr Ayodeji Teriba and Development Specialist, Dr Otive Igbuzor; are among the facilitators for different aspects of the retreat.

According to Oyebanji, “The retreat will afford the government top functionaries to assess the mid-term Ekiti Governance Review Report 2020; reflect on the first two years (2018-2020) of the Dr Kayode Fayemi-led administration in Ekiti and realign programmes and plans with new governance priorities as well as reflect on how the government can improve on service delivery and governance to ensure the more impactful outcome.
“It will also seek to energise existing team spirit and imbue innovative thinking among top government official as well as evolve government strategies established on the interlinks and flow between vision, focus, plans, policies to budgets, policies and programmes for the overall benefit of Ekiti State.”
Stressing that the first retreat of the administration’s top officials held in Iloko-Ijesha in May 2019, laid a solid foundation for the development strides of the government, Oyebanji said the planned retreat will assess, “how far the administration has come from the Iloko retreat and what has been left undone with a view to deciding on priorities for the next two years.”
