Fayemi begins tour of Ekiti communities

Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, began the third edition of his annual tour of communities in the state on Friday.

The governor is expected to visit no fewer than 132 communities across the 16 local government areas of the state during the tour.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Olayinka Oyebode, said the exercise was in line with the administration’s policy of accountability.

It said, “This is to allow the governor to inspect ongoing projects, inaugurate completed projects and get the inputs of the various communities into the 2014 budget, through Town Hall meetings.”

It said the tour, which began in Ekiti East Local Government Area on Friday, would be rounded off on December 5 in Ado Ekiti Local Government.

It added, “Governor Fayemi, while on the tour, will visit all the towns and villages in each of the 16 local government areas, where the communities would present their list of priority projects for inclusion in the 2014 budget.”
