Another building named after former Governor Segun Oni is at an advanced stage of completion and will be commissioned in October, the statement added.
The statement recalled that in October 2024, Governor Oyebanji named the remodelled Presidential Lodge in Ado-Ekiti after the first civilian Governor of the state, Otunba Niyi Adebayo. The facility was commissioned by Adebayo himself as part of activities marking the second anniversary of the Oyebanji administration.
Oyebode disclosed that former Governors Fayemi, Fayose and Oni will serve as Special Guests of Honour and will personally commission the buildings named after them on their respective dates.
