Governor Kayode Fayemi has said that Ekiti State College of Technical and Commercial Agriculture, Isan Ekiti will commence academic activities next year.
Speaking at the 26th Isan Ekiti Unity Day in Ekiti, yesterday, the governor reiterated his commitment to the development of agriculture, which is one of the four developmental agenda of his administration.
The College, established in 2014 with focus on mid- level man power development in the agric sector, had been neglected by the immediate past administration in the state.
Fayemi, who was named the Asiwaju Oluomo of Isan Kingdom and presented an award of excellence for his contribution to the infrastructure development of the town, said the agric sector, when fully developed, would provide job opportunities for the unemployed youth in addition to food suplus.
