Fayemi seeks support from indigenes in diaspora

Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has called on Ekiti indigenes in the Diaspora to collaborate more with the state government in its social and economic development drive.

The Governor made the call in Ado-Ekiti, on Monday, while receiving 30 laptop computers donated to Ekiti State House of Assembly by Agbeyewa, a United States of America- based organisation founded by an Ekiti indigene.

The Governor who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Tolu Ibitola, also lauded plans by the group to establish a $16 million cassava processing factory and other agricultural projects in the State.

He said the initiative would further open up the state to job opportunities along the value chain system and improve its economic situation.

The Governor further commended the group for the timely donation of the laptop computers, which he said would enhance the digitalisation process of the State House of Assembly.
