The Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, has inaugurated a 7 man committee to look into the agitation by the communities on the creation of additional local government councils and the expediency of creating new council areas.

Speaking during the inauguration ceremony at Lady Jibowu Hall in Ado Ekiti, the Governor stated that it was in the bid to follow due diligence and extensive consultations that the committee was put together.

Governor Fayemi noted that the agitation for the creation of additional local governments in the state topped the list of requests presented by communities during his annual town hall meetings with the communities across the state.

He added that the move to create additional local government councils is as a result of his participatory style of governance, which he said would be maintained; listening to the yearnings of the people, which was the only way the state could develop.

The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Wale Fapohunda, then highlighted the administration’s authority to create more councils by reading out the constitutional provisions enabling the state to embark on the creation of the new local government council in the state.
