“This promotion should be seen as a motivation for you to offer more services. This is not the time for you to relent. You have to prove to the federal government that you really merit the promotion and this will go with some responsibilities that befits your new rank”.

The partnership between Ekiti government “and all the security agencies is strong, because Governor Biodun Oyebanji knows the value of security to the lives and property of our people.

“We appreciate all the security agencies for their synergy and cooperation with Governor Oyebanji-led administration to making sure that our state is safe and secured for us to live in and for investments”.
