In his own words, the Chairman of Emure Local Government, Hon. Adu Joseph,  admonished the people of Emure to do their best to build the community since there is no other place they can call their own apart from Emure. 

He specifically thanked the people for their support as well as the Governor of Ekiti State for creating an enabling environment which has birthed a lot of infrastructural developments in the State.

Elder Oluremi Olorunleke while bringing the good tidings of Senator Yemi Adaramodu, thanked the people of the community for their unwavering support especially when he was contesting for the Ekiti South Senatorial seat in the constituency.

He declares that even though, the Senator regretted his absence, he cannot but felicitate with Emure people on their special day.

The President of Emure Ekiti Progressive Association (EEPA), Pastor, Dr. A.B  Ibidapo, highlighted the achievements of the Association on Health, Ongoing Civic Centre, the establishment of Emure Polytechnic while also appealing to the state government to look into the matter of the only financial institution in the entire local government which has been under lock and key since it was attacked by men of the underworld some years ago.

A total of 41 personalities were honoured in various categories including Olasetemi Bode Thompson, Managing Director, GMT Group of Companies in Abuja. The business mogul expressed his happiness at being honoured by the people of Emure Kingdom.

“I love the People of Emure, the accommodating spirit and even the Elemure of Emure, a wonderful King and I wish Emure people all the best” he concluded.

The Emure Ekiti day 2023 tagged: “Establishing Emure Ekiti Polytechnic Is A Brilliant Idea”, saw the people of the community coming out in their numbers to celebrate the important day.

Also, in an effort to ensure that academic work commences as soon as possible at the Emure Ekiti Polytechnic in the year 2024, all the quarters in the ancient Emure Kingdom, clubs, streets associations, individuals, groups, guests and dignitaries contributed immensely towards the actualization of the Emure Ekiti Polytechnic.
