Hon.

According to him, the anniversary provides an opportunity not only to celebrate Ekiti’s achievements but also to reflect on the work that remains to be done. “Thirty years of Ekiti State is a story of resilience, intellectual strength, culture, enterprise and an enduring commitment to excellence. We must preserve these values while preparing the State for the opportunities of the next generation,” he stated.

Hon. Ojuawo further reaffirmed his commitment to effective representation and people-oriented legislative service for the people of Ekiti South Federal Constituency I, pledging to continue supporting initiatives that advance the welfare and development of his constituents. He called on Ekiti people to continue working together across political, religious and geographical lines, noting that unity remains essential to achieving sustainable development.

“As Nigeria celebrates 66 and Ekiti marks 30, let us turn the celebrations into a renewed commitment to service, unity and development. Our best years can still be ahead of us if we work together and put the interests of our people first.” Hon. Ojuawo wished Nigerians at home and in the diaspora a happy 66th Independence Anniversary and congratulated the people of Ekiti State on 30 years of statehood, praying that God continues to bless Nigeria and Ekiti State.
