The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, has commended the federal government for selecting the state to represent all 17 southern Nigerian states in the Validated Ward Boundary and Harmonisation exercise.
Oyebanji gave the commendation on Monday while receiving a federal government delegation in the state to undertake the Validated Ward Boundary and Harmonisation Exercise in Ado Ekiti , the Ekiti State capital. The governor, represented by the Deputy Governor, Chief Monisade Afuye, stated that his government had resolved many intra- and inter-state boundary disputes, which he said contributed to the relative peace being enjoyed in the state.
Since the allocation of resources is sometimes distributed based on the existing wards in the nation, even and equitable distribution of the dividends of democracy to the citizens may also be jeopardized. 'As a government, we have made tremendous progress in resolving several intra-town, inter-town, and inter-local government boundary issues peacefully and amicably. We are happy with this exercise, and we shall cooperate with you,' he said.
