Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji yesterday presented new Toyota Prado Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) to the Chairman of the Committee for the Creation of Ekiti State, Chief Deji Fasuan.
The gift is in furtherance of previous recognition given to Chief Fasuan by the past administration of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, which in 2021 named a newly-built secondary school in his honour, in addition to bestowing on him, the state’s “Oni Uyi” honour.
Presenting the SUV to Fasuan at his home in Ado-Ekiti, Oyebanji restated his pledge to continue to recognise and celebrate any citizen who displays passion for the growth and development of the state.

Governor Oyebanji, represented by his deputy, Chief (Mrs) Monisade Afuye, described Chief Fasuan as a leader, who worked assiduously with other committed Ekiti leaders for the creation of the state in 1996, under the military junta headed by the late Gen. Sani Abacha.
Chief Fasuan, who hailed the gesture, appealed to every Ekiti citizen to back Governor Oyebanji in his quest to make the state the cynosure of all eyes politically and economically.
