TOWARDS ENSURING FINANCIAL INCLUSION AND JOB CREATION FOR EKITI PEOPLE.

The Era of limited access to financial services in Ekiti, particularly at the grassroots level, is gradually fading away.

Many rural communities in the state lack effective access to financial services, forcing residents to undertake long journeys to carry out basic banking transactions such as cash withdrawals or deposits.

Recognizing the challenges faced by the people in this area, Governor Oyebanji, through the Ministry of Employment and Wealth Creation, is launching a comprehensive Agency Banking initiative aimed at addressing this issue and ensuring financial inclusion for all, while simultaneously fostering empowerment and job creation for Ekiti youths.

In actualizing this initiative, the ministry is collaborating with interested financial institutions in the state to implement an Agency Banking Scheme.

*What Does the Agency Banking Scheme Connote?*

♻ The scheme will be funded by the partnering banks, while the Government will provide a conducive environment for safe and smooth operations.

♻ Data collation will commence next week to facilitate the registration of intending beneficiaries, after which the enrollment and selection process will begin.

♻ The partnership entails the training and empowerment of 1000 youths in Agency banking, selected from across the Local Government Areas (LGAs) and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State.

TRIBUTE to BAO'S ONE YEAR IN OFFICE

365 days ago, the People's Governor, His Excellency Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji, began his journey as the Executive Governor of the State of the Land of Honor, Ile Iyi Ile Eye, Ekiti State.

Exactly one year ago, he made a solemn promise before God and all to faithfully serve the good people of Ekiti State.

Although we still have a long journey of growth and development ahead of us, it's worth noting the remarkable growth we have achieved in all sectors of the state, including education, security, the environment, healthcare, housing, infrastructure, social services, support for the private sector, and MSMEs.

I am thankful to God, the leadership of our great party, and all the good people of Ekiti State for the belief they have in our hardworking Governor, as he is committed to the work and to sustaining this drive until we achieve a better Ekiti State of our dreams that works for all.
