The Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has on Tuesday said that the cultivation of more land for commercial agriculture has reduced the menace of kidnapping in the Ikole – Ijesa Isu – Iluomoba axis of the state.
Oyebanji said that his administration, in addition to power and road infrastructure development, would focus on agriculture to ensure food security, create economic opportunities, ensure proper utilisation of land and drive industrialisation.
The governor spoke at Ikole Ekiti while inaugurating the Ikole township road and Ilumoba-Ijesa Isu-Ikole 33kVA electricity project.
He said that the commissioning of the Ikole Township Road was another gain of the continuity of the vote of the people of the state in the 2022 governorship poll, noting that the project was started by his immediate predecessor in office, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
