He emphasized that a safe and secure environment is crucial for the growth and development of the nation.In addition, Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, urged governments at all levels to embrace Public-Private Partnership initiatives, considering it the most effective catalyst for economic development and prosperity. This approach involves collaboration between the public and private sectors to drive sustainable growth and address various societal challenges.Overall, Chief Afe Babalola’s appeals for constitutional reforms, the reduction of excessive allowances, and the promotion of Public-Private Partnerships reflect his concerns about political and social imbalances and his vision for a more equitable and prosperous Nigeria.
