The Nigerian Civil Servants Union has announced a plan to honour Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji, with the Governor of the Year Award.

NCSU General Secretary, Gbenga Olowoyo, in a letter to the governor, stated that the honour was “in recognition of his outstanding commitment to workers’ welfare, people-oriented policies and exemplary leadership.”

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Media, Yinka Oyebode, who made the disclosure in a statement in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, quoted Olowoyo as saying that “the award will be presented in Abuja during the union’s National Executive Council meeting.”

The NCSU cited Oyebanji’s remarkable achievements across key sectors of the economy, as well as his transformative policies and programmes in Ekiti State over the last three and a half years, as the basis for the honour.

The union also noted that the award was in recognition of the governor’s developmental strides in infrastructure, economic reforms, youth empowerment, education, healthcare, and other critical sectors.
