Bills For Establishment Of Tertiary Institutions In Ekiti State Scaled First Reading.

The Green Chamber marked a significant mileage as the Bill for the establishment of the Federal College of Agriculture in Otun Ekiti and College of Nursing and Midwifery in Ikosu Ekiti, sponsored by Honorable Akinlayo Kolawole, passed its first reading. 

Representing Ekiti North Federal Constituency (II) of Ekiti State, Honorable Akinlayo's groundbreaking initiative addresses the absence of higher education institution(s) in Ekiti North Federal Constituency (II).

This legislative effort not only seeks to bridge the educational gap but also aims at catalyzing local development and offering opportunities for communities within Moba Local Government. The proposal underscores a commitment to nurturing the potential of the younger generation and fostering regional growth.

During the bill's introduction, Honorable Akinlayo emphasized the urgent need for federal presence in education within the constituency. Highlighting the deficiency in primary healthcare personnel, he articulated the necessity for training and retraining of staff to ensure quality healthcare provision. 

The lawmaker passionately appealed to his colleagues for swift passage of the bill, envisioning the establishment of these institutions as a cornerstone for democratic dividends and community well-being.
