Reflecting on the President’s milestones, Hon. Olarewaju saluted the Renewed Hope Agenda, which has successfully transitioned from a phase of stabilization to a period of rapid economic acceleration. He noted that the President's vision, anchored by the ambitious N58.18 trillion 2026 "Budget of Acceleration" is already yielding tangible dividends across critical sectors, including the "Renewed Hope Cities and Estates" program, the Ward Development initiative, and the landmark Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFund) that has empowered millions of students.

He specifically lauded the President's continuous support for Ekiti State, a sentiment frequently testified to by the Executive Governor, His Excellency Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji. From critical infrastructure projects to agricultural support, the synergy between the Federal Government and Ekiti has remained a cornerstone of progress for the "Fountain of Knowledge."

As the nation celebrates the President’s achievements, Hon. Olarewaju offered prayers for his continued health and vigor. "As Mr. President continues to march the nation forward, we stand resolutely behind him. The foundations being laid today are the bedrock of our future success. As we look ahead to the 2027 Presidential election, it is clear that the journey of renewal must continue to ensure these reforms reach their full, transformative potential."

Hon. Olarewaju concluded by urging all Nigerians to remain steadfast in their support of the administration, noting that under President Tinubu’s watch, Nigeria is firmly on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has congratulated the President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on his 74th birthday, describing him as a genuine lover of the people, a pathfinder, and a selfless leader who is committed to sustainable development of the country. 

Governor Oyebanji, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Yinka Oyebode, hailed the President for dedicating his life to the defence of democracy and service of his fatherland and fellow countrymen in various capacities which had exacted great sacrifice from him.

He noted that President Tinubu is a man of history with many golden chapters as a professional in the corporate world, a boardroom guru, astute politician, pro-democracy activist and the arrowhead of a movement that fought for the restoration of democratic rule in  the country. 

Oyebanji described  the President as an uncommon gift and a treasure to the nation, adding that  President Tinubu’s footprints remain bold at the subnational and national levels as a Senator in the Third Republic, two-term governor of Lagos State and currently the President and Commander - in- Chief of the Federal Republic, who continues to lead and inspire the citizens with courage and impactful policies and reforms.

Ekiti plans 10 million cocoa seedlings in 10 years.

Ekiti plans 10 million cocoa seedlings in 10 years.

The Ekiti State Government has said it will raise 10 million cocoa seedlings over the next 10 years as part of efforts to revive cocoa production and restore the state’s position in Nigeria’s cocoa value chain.

The State Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Mr Ebenezer Boluwade, disclosed this while featuring on a simulcast radio programme, “Ekiti Loni/Ekiti Today.”

He said the government plans to produce one million cocoa seedlings annually within the period.

Boluwade explained that the initiative is aimed at reversing the long decline in cocoa output, which he attributed to ageing plantations that have exceeded their productive lifespan.

He added that the government is collaborating with the TRACE Project, Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture(IITA) to implement the programme.

According to him, the partnership with the TRACE programme is designed to train and support private cocoa farmers with modern techniques and inputs required to meet production targets.

He noted that the TRACE programme focuses on sustainable cocoa sourcing and improving cocoa quality through expert fermentation processes.

Boluwade further said the programme promotes traceability, environmental protection and ethical production, stressing that cocoa produced under it must not come from deforested areas or involve child labour.

He noted that as part of the pilot phase of the cocoa rejuvenation scheme, 28 farmers developing cocoa nurseries have received irrigation pumps worth millions of naira to support year-round production of Cocoa seedlings.

The Commissioner said improved, high-yield seedlings are being supplied by the Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria and other institutions to boost productivity and sustainability.

He added that the State Government would provide cocoa seedlings and agrochemicals at a 50 per cent subsidy to reduce production costs and encourage farmers’ participation.

Boluwade said the government is also prioritising quality and global competitiveness, with farmers receiving training in cocoa traceability to meet international export standards.

He disclosed that the state is working on plans to leverage the Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zones (SAPZ) Programme, supported by the African Development Bank, to enhance value addition and create jobs in cocoa processing.

On weather support, he said the Nigerian Meteorological Agency would provide timely forecasts to guide planting, adding that full rainfall is expected by mid-April.

He explained that distribution of subsidised seedlings would be decentralised to ensure access across the state, with farmers to be informed on how to obtain them.

The improved cocoa varieties, he said, are climate-resilient and can mature within three years, offering quicker returns on investment.

Boluwade expressed optimism that the initiative would boost cocoa production, create jobs and strengthen the state’s economy.
