March 07, (THEWILL) – The governorship candidate of the Accord Party in the June 18, 2022 Ekiti State gubernatorial election, Basorun Reuben Famuyibo, has said that he is in the race to become the governor of the state to make life more meaningful for every resident of the state.
He stated this while receiving in audience, a group of youths from the state capital, Ado-Ekiti, who paid him a solidarity visit on Sunday evening.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Olajide Omojolomoju, Famuyibo said that he has seen how civil servants, teachers and students are suffering in the state, saying he is coming to bring smiles to their faces.
He also promised a massive infrastructural development of Ekiti State and the provision of enabling environment for small and medium scale enterprises to thrive.
He said, “We will start with the payment of the backlog of salary arrears and thereafter, ensure prompt payment of salaries and emoluments for teachers especially and all civil servants.
“For the teachers, we will ensure that they get their due promotion as and when due, train and re-train them to meet with international best teaching and learning methods and practices, pay allowances for core subjects and rural posting and make available to them car and housing loans.
“We will also ensure that we create conducive working environment for our civil servants; provide free transportation to and from work and train and re-train them as well. Our government will also ensure that every Ekiti worker gets the ’13th month salary’.
“For our students, we will ensure that school fees are reduced, so that many who are denied education due to high fees can return to school; restore electricity to our campuses, maintain existing infrastructures and provide new ones and ensure adequate accommodation in partnership with investors.”
He said market women, farmers and artisans would also be taken care of by his administration, just as adequate security would be provided for all and sundry.
