Adegbite, who stated that the committee was to be chaired by himself, said that the Committee was expected to commence consultative process of developing a blueprint to guide the 7th Assembly that would be aligned with the development Agenda of the Biodun Oyebanji administration in Ekiti State.

This, he said, was to ensure coherence and robust executive-legislative collaboration, to advance accelerated development in Ekiti State.

He added that the committee would take into consideration, the Agenda of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration to ensure Ekiti is best 

positioned to optimise benefits from the federal government's Renewed Hope Agenda.
