Governor Kayode Fayemi has lauded the appointment of an Ekiti State indigene, Prof. Tale Omole, as the Vice Chancellor (VC) of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Omole, who hails from Oye-Ekiti in Oye local government, was a member of the Ekiti Education Summit and Visitation Panel.
In a congratulatory letter yesterday, Fayemi said: "This appointment is a confirmation of your pedigree as an outstanding scholar with robust managerial skills, whose rich experience would uphold the great virtues of the ‘Great Ife’.
"I’m confident that you have what it takes to build on these virtues and provide virile leadership that would push the university to a greater height of academic excellence with global exploits.
"The tasks are truly challenging but certainly not insurmountable for a person made of your stuff.
"On behalf of the government and the good people of Ekiti State, please accept my hearty congratulations on this well-deserved elevation."
Also yesterday, newly-elected members of the National and House of Assemblies from the state were urged not to execute projects during their tenures to ensure transparency and accountability.
This is one of the high points of a communiqué issued at the end of a retreat for the lawmakers-elect at Royal Parks Hotel, Iloko-Ijesa, Osun State.
The communiqué said it is not the duty of legislators to execute projects but to supervise them.
The legislators-elect were warned against ostentatious lifestyles and urged to sponsor bills that will impact on good governance.
Participants included Fayemi; his deputy, Mrs. Funmilayo Olayinka; retired bureaucrats and community leaders from the state.
