Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has approved the naming of newly completed government buildings after three former governors, recognizing their contributions to the state's development. The honorees are Chief Ayodele Fayose, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, and Engr. Segun Oni.

These former leaders are also slated to commission the facilities that now bear their names. Buildings named after Fayemi and Fayose are scheduled for inauguration on July 31 and August 3, 2026, respectively. A facility named after Segun Oni is nearing completion and is expected to be commissioned in October.

The statement from Governor Oyebanji's media adviser, Yinka Oyebode, also recalled that in October 2024, the Presidential Lodge was renamed after the state's first civilian governor, Otunba Niyi Adebayo, who subsequently commissioned it. The upcoming inaugurations signify the beginning of a new phase of project unveilings as the Oyebanji administration concludes its first term.

This move aligns with the administration's Shared Prosperity Agenda, demonstrating a commitment to completing ongoing projects and making them accessible for public use. The government views this initiative as a reflection of its dedication to development and public service.

The announcement was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Governorโ€™s Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode.
