Overview

In early July 2026, Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji publicly mourned the deaths of two prominent senior figures, reflecting his role in local community affairs. Later that month, he announced that several newly constructed government buildings would be named after former governors Kayode Fayemi, Ayodele Fayose, and Segun Oni. The naming ceremony is intended as a tribute to their contributions, with the Fayemi‑named building slated for commissioning on 31 July, the Fayose‑named one on 3 August, and the Oni‑named building expected in October 2026. These actions highlight Oyebanji’s ongoing efforts to honour past leadership while advancing his administration’s agenda.
