EKITI SET FOR INDOOR SPORTS REVOLUTION AS OYEBANJI FLOATS ULTRA MODERN COMPLEX IN ADO EKITI.
By Olamide Akinwumi
Ekiti State is stepping up the tempo in its sports renaissance with the ongoing construction of a state of the art Indoor Sports Complex in Ado Ekiti, a landmark project that further reinforces Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji’s BAO deliberate drive to deepen sports development and youth empowerment.
The ultra modern complex is designed as a multi purpose arena that will host a wide range of sporting activities including basketball, volleyball, handball, badminton, table tennis, gymnastics and chess, alongside combat and strength sports such as weightlifting, para weightlifting, boxing, judo, karate, kickboxing and kung fu. When completed, the facility is expected to serve as a breeding ground for grassroots talents, a high performance training centre and a venue fit for elite competitions.
Sports in Ekiti State have witnessed a massive transformation under BAO’s administration, a clear testament to the governor’s vision and game changing approach to development. A standout example is the wide improvement, rehabilitation and re equipping of the Oluyemi Kayode Stadium, which now stands tall as the home of Ekiti United FC and Ekiti Queens FC, both flying the state’s flag in the Nigeria Professional Football League and the women’s league. The revamped stadium has restored pride, improved match day experience and provided a solid pitch for talent showcase and competitive football.
Beyond sports, the Oyebanji administration has continued to record wide ranging infrastructural development across critical sectors, reflecting a holistic governance strategy. In the health sector, construction work on the 80 bed multipurpose facility at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital EKSUTH is progressing steadily. The project underscores the Ekiti State Government’s strong commitment to upgrading healthcare infrastructure and expanding access to quality medical services for residents.
Governor Oyebanji has remained consistent in making deliberate investments in people centred infrastructure, ensuring that no sector is left behind. From sports to health and other key areas of development, the administration’s footprint is visible, measurable and impactful, aligning seamlessly with its Shared Prosperity Agenda.
This is a clear call to Ekiti Kete to gear up with massive support and love, to keep believing in purposeful leadership and to continue standing solidly with Governor Oyebanji. As the gains of continuity become more evident, the people of Ekiti State must embrace the shared prosperity vision, sustain the momentum and support, mobilise and vote BAO once again to consolidate these achievements and secure a stronger future for the Land of Honour.
With the whistle blown and development in full flow, Ekiti is winning on all fronts on the pitch, in the hospital wards and across the state’s development scoreboard.
