Ekiti elders council to induct young members to boost operations

The Ekiti Council of Elders, a venerable institution traditionally reserved for indigenes aged 60 and above, is embarking on a forward-thinking initiative to invigorate its operations. By inducting younger affiliate members, the council seeks to infuse its advisory role with "spice, vigour and strength," ensuring its continued relevance and broadening its developmental impact on Ekiti State.

This strategic move, spearheaded by Council President Joseph Oluwasanmi and General Secretary Elder Niyi Ajibulu, underscores a commitment to adapting to contemporary challenges. The inclusion of professionals like the Speaker of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, a development expert, and a CEO, among others, signals a deliberate effort to harness fresh ideas and modern best practices. These new members are expected to contribute significantly to strengthening the council's programs and improving service delivery.

They are also expected to recommend possible interventions in the affairs of government for improved performance and as well carry out activities that will promote the vision and mission of the Elders’ Council.

As a repository of experience and expertise, the Elders' Council has long provided crucial guidance on governance and state affairs. This expansion is not merely about adding numbers; it's about ensuring the council's legacy of wisdom is complemented by the dynamism and innovative perspectives of a new generation. The ultimate goal is to enhance the council's ability to recommend interventions for improved government performance and to actively promote its vision and mission for the development of Ekiti State.
