Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Biodun Oyebanji, has assured residents of the state of adequate measures to ensure a peaceful and hitch-free celebration during and after the yuletide season.

The Governor gave this assurance on Thursday during a meeting with traditional rulers in the state at the Traditional Council Chambers, Ado-Ekiti.

Governor Oyebanji explained that he is not unmindful of the usual spike in criminal activities during yuletide seasons. However, he disclosed that collaborative efforts with the security agencies and community leaders were already in top gear to forestall any potential threats to security of lives and properties of residents.

The Governor adjudged the state as one of the safest in the country, adding that his administration remains committed to safeguarding lives and properties of the residents during and after the yuletide season.

He emphasized that the state government is adopting a comprehensive approach to address criminal activities in the state.

While urging residents to remain calm and go about their daily activities without fear, Governor Oyebanji assured that security agencies are fully prepared to secure the state.

“Well so far so good, the security in the state is encouraging, and there has been an improvement in the security situation. Though we still have a pocket of criminality here and there, and that’s part of the issues we also discussed here.”

The Governor further stated, “We will be combining both kinetic and non-kinetic approaches to ensure we tackle criminal elements in the state, but by and large, Ekiti is one of the safest states in the country. We are not unmindful of the fact that as we move closer to yuletide season, there will be a spike in crimes, and we are discussing with security Chiefs too, and they are up to the task.”

Governor Oyebanji concluded by assuring residents that they should go about their businesses without any fear of insecurity.

“Even though I cannot give details of what we are doing, but I can assure everybody in the state that they should just go about their businesses without any fear of insecurity”
