MY GOVERNMENT ALREADY FULFILLED SIX-POINT AGENDA - FAYOSE

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose,
Tuesday declared that his administration’s
Six-Point Agenda focusing on empowerment,
development of agriculture, infrastructural
development, education, science and
technology, health and security has been
faithfully implemented.
The governor, who spoke through the
Secretary to the State Government, Dr Mrs
Modupe Alade, in Ado-Ekiti on Tuesday while
briefing newsmen on activities of the
government in the last two years, said his
administration has lived up to expectation as
one that is labelled ‘Government of
Restoration’, two years after coming into
office.
Mrs Alade, who was flanked by top
government officials, said the achievements
of the government could be seen in great
improvement in performance of students from
the state in public examinations, as well as
the provision of social amenities despite lean
resources.
“Restoration has come for the education
sector under the Ayodele Fayose
administration with the record breaking score
of 96.48 percent performance of Ekiti Senior
Secondary three students in the 2016 National
Examinations Council exams, to emerge an
enviable first position in Nigeria,”she said.
The SSG said the feat was achieved by
religiously implementing the recommendations
of the Education Summit organised by the
state government in September 2015.
“These crystalised in the progressive
performance chart of students in public
examinations from 29th position with an
average 58 percent in 2014 to 18th position
with an average 74.5 percent in 2015 and now
to the enviable position of first in 2016 with a
percentage score of 96.48 percent for the
first time in the history of NECO.
“Performance in the West African School
Certificate Examinations also gives reason to
cheer from 25 percent in 2014, to 37 percent
in 2015 and now 42 percent in 2016. While for
the School of Nursing, it has been a
consistent 98 percent pass in 2015 and 2016.
And for the School of Midwifery, it has been
all time high of 100 percent score in 2015 and
2016 in national examinations conducted by
the National Council of Nurses and Midwives,”
she said. Mrs Alade added that economic
recession notwithstanding, the state
government embarked on and executed a lot
of projects across the state.
She listed them to include dualisation of
roads in Ado, Ikere, Emure, Efon, Ikole, Ise,
while a flyover is being built in Ado-Ekiti.
While soliciting support for Governor Fayose,
the SSG stated that the administration would
not leave any project abandoned, saying
before embarking on any project, the
administration always ensured that the fund to
execute it was already on ground.
