Good evening sir, H.E @kfayemi

The issue of tractor has been one of the major issues confronting farmers in Ekiti. As i speak with you sir, the Ministry of Agriculture has just one tractor. The others are as good as dead.
How can farmers rely on one tractor sir?
For me to access this one tractor, i have been on the queue for weeks. Even when i had to pay 12,000 per hectare excluding money for Diesel and feeding for the tractor Operator.

How many small holders farmer can bear this sir?
I strongly believe sir that procurring more tractors for the Ministry is another avenue for boosting our IGR. Imagine how much will the state make during farming season. For me to plough just 5hectares today, i have paid 85,000. Imagine if we have 16tractors, one in each LG..
It is disheartening that farmers in Ekiti now go to Kwara&Osun most especially to hire tractors because it is cheaper and affordable. The private tractors in Ekiti are not helping matter. While Ministry of Agric plough at 17k, they charge 20k per hectare.

This is killing us sir.
For me to harrow the 5 hectares now, i am already having headache as i will be on the queue again hoping that it will quickly get to my turn.

Pls sir, @kfayemi help us look into this issue and see how your government can be of help.

Thanks.

Asiwaju Oladimeji.

Good afternoon sir @kfayemi

I am aware that the Ekiti state govt have started collecting 100naira per day from Okada riders and other commercial vehicles with the aim of boosting our IGR.

Good. However, with the current template, half of the money will go into private purse.
I took my time to interract with some Okada riders to actually analyse their opinions sir @kfayemi

While i discovered that most of the bikes i took have been collecting the tickets, it was obvious some of their colleagues have developed the gimmick of beating the system.

How?
Currently, we don't even have the accurate data on Okada riders/other commercial vehicles in the state. I humbly think that should be the first step.

How do we know how much is the state making per day on this initiative if we don't have accurate figure of okadas in Ado alone.

#JKF100DaysInOffice
Celebrating 100days in office of any Governor has become a ritual in Nigeria. In most cases, the celebration of 100 days do witness commissioning of some projects such as roads, boreholes, transformers etc.

#JKF100DaysInOffice
In the case of Dr Kayode Fayemi, we might not been seeing commissioning of roads, boreholes etc but from what i have observed, seen and witnessed I will assess him on the followings;
Education
Infrastructures
Health
Worker's welfare

In Ekiti, primary school teachers and LG workers just received November 2017 salary.

Yes, November last year.

God punish continuity!!
Dr @kfayemi has a whole lot on his table.

1. Backlog of salaries
2. Backlog of pensioners' salaries
3. Dilapidated infrastructures in Primary and secondary schools, hospitals
4. Dead Ikogosi
5. Dead Fountain hotel
6. Dead Agric Sector
Seriously, huge task.
At this rate, this primary school teachers and LG workers will only get Dec, Jan & Feb salaries before JKF's swearing-in.

He will now be having on his table 7 month salary arrears for those two sectors alone.

Wow!!!

India (Bhārat), aka Republic of India (Bhārat Gaṇarājya) constitutes a mosaic of paradoxes and contradictions starting with the existence of gigantic socio-economic disparities which are in sharp contrast with the spectacular technological development in most productive sectors.
Such contradictions reflect significant measurement discrepancies which, in India's case, could be on the order of hundreds of millions of people.
Furthermore, there is the problem of Islamic terrorists, who are trained abroad and find easy fuel in the contradictions within it.
Finally, there’s agriculture which, by some estimates, accounts for 90% of India’s water consumption. Farmers meet irrigation demands by indiscriminately extracting groundwater, which some say accounts for a quarter of the world’s groundwater usage.

BACKGROUND

As of May 2015, Nigeria was at war and there was a significant deficit in
critical infrastructure and social services across the country, just as over
100 million Nigerians were living in poverty.
This was despite the fact of
earning over $783 Billion from crude oil sales between 1999 and 2015.
Between 2010 and 2015, the country earned the sum of $382 Billion
from the sale of crude oil. Evidently, the nation's wealth had been
inappropriately diverted and looted,

Fayose's decision to borrow 56 billion with a fresh application of another N25 billion in 2017, without any significant socio-economic impact puts @GovAyoFayose's understanding of governance & economics in question. And also confirms his lack of transparency. /1

#Fayose @Ayourb
With low jobs growth, no wage growth, no industrial development, no investment in agric & no socio-economic plan, where does future govt revenue come from? @GovAyoFayose has presided over the worst govt ever to drive up #Ekiti State's debt without a plan to fix the economy. /2
Contrary to the lies by @OlayinkaLere & @GovAyoFayose, the first 30billion in this chart is an accumulation of accrued debt b4 & during @kfayemi's tenure. He ensured that 14.5b was paid out of the 25b loan before he left office. By Oct 2014, #Ekiti debt profile was 10.5b. /3
