Ekiti State House of Assembly members, officials, and others are set to travel to Brampton, Ontario, Canada, for an Executive Legislative Leadership Retreat aimed at enhancing their legislative capacity.

According to a letter dated October 18, 2024, addressed to Barrister Adesina, President of Ekiti Kete in Canada, the retreat seeks to equip lawmakers with necessary knowledge and skills to tackle policy implementation challenges.

The letter, signed by Titilope Agbede, Clerk of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, noted that the trip is self-sponsored.

During the visit, the lawmakers will meet with members of Ekiti Kete in the Diaspora to foster cultural development and share experiences promoting Ekiti State and good governance.

The letter reads in part, “This is to inform you that Members of Ekiti State House of Assembly and Officials led by the Rt. Hon. Speaker, Honourable Adeoye Stephen Aribasoye will be leading to attend an Executive Legislative Leadership Retreat scheduled to hold in November, 2024 in Brampton, Ontario, Canada.

“The retreat aims to equip the legislators with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively navigate the complexities of policy implementation challenges.

“As part of our visit, the House intends to have a courtesy visit to the Ekiti Kete Association, Canada to meet with the members of Ekiti Kete in diaspora. This will be able to foster cultural development and share experience that can promote Ekiti State and good governance for the benefit of our people.

“We kindly request that you give us a date and time between 13th November, 2024 and 20th November, 2024.”
