One of the affected persons, Miss. Aina Tolulope was ecstatic in her appreciation of the governor’s efforts, for coming through for them when they felt all hope was lost, because of the suspension of academic activities, the curfew imposed, and general state of insecurity.
“I am very happy to be home, and I am proud to be from Ekiti state, and happy that we have a governor who goes the extra mile to ensure no one is left behind. He has demonstrated expertise in governance, and shown himself to be a father, and a loving person. Thank you Governor Fayemi.”
