The appointments are expected to support the government’s plans to improve power infrastructure, road development, airport-related matters and transportation services across Ekiti State.
Meanwhile, during the swearing-in ceremony for Adubiaro and Adebayo, Oyebanji urged the two officials to apply the experience they gained during his first administration to their new assignments.
