It is our desire that Ekiti State becomes a reference point for success in the comity of states. This administration has taken steps that will positively impact on the people of the State inspite the limited resources available. This government is sensitive to the yearnings and aspirations of our people. As a people, we all deserve the best at all times, and with God on our side, we shall get the very best. 

“However, our administration will continue to make determined efforts to improve workers’ conditions of service,  payment of deduction arrears has been completed, while all the 2018 deduction arrears have also been paid. 

“Also, the implementation of 2019 promotion has equally been approved, coupled with hazard allowances and residency training allowance for Medical Doctors. All these clearly show that workers’ welfare remains a top priority for my administration and all other outstanding issues shall be addressed in due course”.

Oyebanji stressed that, he had paid a total sum of N30,606,198,988.31 as salaries to all categories of workers and pensioners since he assumed office.
