Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has said that the College of Agriculture and Technology in Isan Ekiti has been upgraded to Polytechnic status to further drive agribusiness, make agriculture more attractive to the youths and boost food security in the state.
Fayemi also attributed the massive investment in the state economy by local and foreign investors worth millions of dollars to the collaboration of his administration with development partners.
Governor Fayemi, who was represented by his deputy, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi, at the first edition of Ekiti Civic Engagement with various interest groups in Ado Ekiti, said he was always in pursuit of development partners to lift the state economy in defiance of the global financial challenges.
