Federal Government Ranks Ekiti High in Agriculture as Governor Oyebanji’s Vision Bears Fruit
The Federal Government has ranked Ekiti State among the top-performing states in agriculture, thanks to the bold, strategic interventions of Governor Biodun Oyebanji. With land-clearing initiatives, distribution of subsidized and free seedlings, farmer-friendly loans, and youth-targeted training, the administration has repositioned agriculture as both a business and a lifestyle across the state.
Ekiti’s achievements are rooted in intentional policies, including the deployment of Agro-Rangers for farm security and the attraction of private investment. These steps are transforming rural economies and improving food security outcomes. It’s no surprise that the Tribune Newspaper recently spotlighted Ekiti as a leader in agricultural investment.
Governor Oyebanji’s commitment goes beyond policy. Just weeks ago, he personally visited a flood-prone area in Ado-Ekiti where residents requested drainage intervention. He immediately directed engineers to begin work, and on Wednesday, he returned to assess progress—demonstrating his leadership style of follow-through, quality control, and people-first governance. Indeed, BAO’s works are speaking for him.
