In what can only be described as a remarkable journey of leadership and dedication, Hon. Oluwadamilare Ajayi, the Executive Chairman of Gbonyin Local Council Development Area (LCDA) in Ekiti State, has left an indelible mark on his community. With a steadfast commitment to progress, he has undertaken numerous impactful initiatives aimed at propelling the LCDA to new heights.

When Hon. Ajayi took office nearly two years ago, he was faced with daunting challenges that could have easily discouraged him. However, he embraced the responsibility entrusted to him by his people with unwavering determination.

One of the immediate challenges was the inadequate office accommodation for the council staff. Undeterred by the seemingly insurmountable odds, Hon. Ajayi oversaw the renovation of an abandoned building, which now stands as one of the best at the council secretariat. This rejuvenated structure was furnished with state-of-the-art furniture, rivaling any governor's office.

But Hon. Ajayi's dedication extended beyond the council's administrative needs. He recognized the importance of revamping the local market stalls in the three communities that constitute the LCDA: Ijan, Iluomoba, and Aisegba Ekiti. His administration renovated 20 market buildings in Ijan Ekiti, constructed 10 open market stalls in Iluomoba, and renovated 20 market stalls in Aisegba Ekiti. These renovations not only enhanced the trading environment but also boosted the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), earning him the title of a "Miracle Worker."

Safety and security were not overlooked either. Hon. Ajayi embarked on the perimeter fencing of the entire secretariat, ensuring the safety of workers and deterring wandering domestic animals. Regular security meetings and funding for logistics, fueling, and contingencies for security patrols were established, contributing to a relatively crime-free LCDA. To bolster security further, he purchased five Bajaj Motorbikes for five security agencies in the area.

Recognizing the LCDA's agrarian potential, Hon. Ajayi seized the opportunity to cultivate cash crops like yam, maize, and cassava on extensive hectares of land. Furthermore, he prioritized infrastructure development, grading and rehabilitating numerous township and farm settlement roads in the three towns comprising Gbonyin LCDA.

In the realm of Human Capital Development, Hon. Ajayi's administration emphasized training and retraining, investing substantially in staff seminars and workshops. Plans are underway to empower individuals across the three major towns in the LCDA with materials such as grading machines, clippers, and herbicides. Additionally, palliatives will be distributed to mitigate the effects of subsidy removal from petrol.
