Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has come out to say that the three indigenes of the state that received the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Presidential Award of Excellence and Remarkable Achievement can be assured of his government’s support.

The governor recently gave the assurance in Ado-Ekiti when he received the awardees, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the awardees have been demonstrating leadership and compassion in their various places of primary assignment during their service year, and this was the major criteria for their consideration for the presidential honour.

He then begged them to keep up the good work, while adding that he would make sure FG fulfils its vow of granting automatic employment to them.

His words, “I am glad that in your various primary assignments, you’ve been able to demonstrate leadership and you’ve been able to demonstrate compassion because in everything that you described, you helped people.”

“I think it speaks to the value restoration agenda that we have always promoted here in Ekiti.”

“Because for us when I was returning to office in 2018, I said it was important to restore the values that Ekiti people are known for.”

“That is why wherever you find yourself when you tell people that you are from Ekiti, there are a number of things they automatically associate with Ekiti. These include integrity, knowledge-seeking, determination to succeed, competence and compassion.”

“But regardless of whether the Federal Government fulfil their promise, we consider you our own and we also would like to at least show profound appreciation to you for doing Ekiti proud. We would do that via some cash donation to you.”
