Oyebanji names new Ekiti govt buildings after Fayemi, Fayose, Oni

Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has named some newly constructed government buildings after former governors of the state as a mark of honour and recognition of their contributions to the development of the state.

According to a statement on Tuesday by the Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, two of the buildings, named after immediate past Governor Dr Kayode Fayemi and former Governor Chief Ayodele Fayose, are scheduled for commissioning on Friday, July 31, 2026, and Monday, August 3, 2026, respectively.

“Another building, named after former Governor Engr Segun Oni, is at an advanced stage of completion and is slated for commissioning in October,” he said.

It would be recalled that in October 2024, Governor Oyebanji named the remodelled Presidential Lodge after the first civilian governor of the state, Otunba Niyi Adebayo.

The facility was subsequently commissioned by the former governor as part of activities marking the second anniversary of the Biodun Oyebanji administration.

The statement added: “In a similar vein, the former governors, Dr Kayode Fayemi, Chief Ayodele Fayose and Engr Segun Oni, will serve as Special Guests of Honour and personally commission the buildings named after them on the designated dates.

“The commissioning of these projects signals the commencement of another phase of project inaugurations by Governor Oyebanji as he rounds off his first term and prepares for the inauguration of a second term in office.

“This initiative underscores Governor Oyebanji’s commitment to completing and delivering all projects initiated by his administration for public use, in line with the Shared Prosperity Agenda of his administration.”
