Nigeria’s Vice President, Kashim Shettima, is expected to visit Ekiti State on Tuesday for a one-day working engagement, which will include the inauguration of key projects.
The Special Adviser on Media to Governor Biodun Oyebanji, Yinka Oyebode, confirmed this in a statement issued in Ado Ekiti on Sunday, noting that the state governor and top officials will receive the Vice President upon arrival at the Ekiti Agro Allied International Cargo Airport.
Oyebode said Shettima, who will be representing President Bola Tinubu, is scheduled to perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the Ekiti Knowledge Zone and commission the newly built Zonal Office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission along Old Iyin Road in Ado-Ekiti.
He further stated that the Vice President will also inaugurate the 1.2-kilometre Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Flyover located at Okeyinmi in Ado-Ekiti, describing it as one of the flagship projects of the Oyebanji administration.
