The Alawe of Ilawe Ekiti Kingdom, Oba Adebanji Ajibade Alabi, gave commendation while addressing the Sons and Daughters of Ilawe Ekiti Kingdom and several other dignitaries present during the 2024 Ilawe Unity Day Celebrations held in Ilawe Ekiti at the Local Government Training School premises on Saturday.

According to the prominent Ilawe Ekiti Traditional Ruler, he said, “if not for the likes of Barrister Femi Falana, SAN and Senator Yemi Adaramodu, and many others whose names he did not mention, citing the Federal College of Education in Ilawe Ekiti and some other Federal Government projects would not have been made possible. Each time we encounter brick walls while pursuing the Federal Institution and projects to be cited in Ilawe Ekiti, those two people and several others have always been helpful in making things easy through their links and connections”.

Oba Ajibade expressed joy that in his own time, aside citing the Federal College of Education in Ilawe Ekiti, he revealed how other projects like the annex of the Federal Teaching Hospital at Ido Ekiti, High Court Complex, Magistrate Court, General Hospital and several good access roads to Ilawe Ekiti from not less than five neighbouring towns, including the State Capital, Ado Ekiti have been achieved, with more still being expected. 

He also used the opportunity to appreciate the Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji for his love and contributions towards the development of Ilawe Ekiti Kingdom through some of the road projects and appointments he approved. 

Oba Alabi pointing out, specifically expressed gratitude to Governor Oyebanji for completing the major roads such as Ilawe Ekiti to Erinjiyan Ekiti, Ilawe Ekiti to Igede Ekiti, Ilawe Ekiti to Ado Ekiti as well as the Ilawe Ekiti to Ikere Ekiti which is presently ongoing.
