The Vice Chancellor of EKSU, Professor Joseph Babalola commended Bamidele for his significant investment in education, emphasising that it remained the best form of investment.

“Other projects commissioned include the completed Oja Oba ultra-modern market in Igede Ekiti, which is powered by solar street lights, as well as similar markets in Aramoko Ekiti, Igede Ekiti, and Iyin-Ekiti.

“Additionally, the late Mrs Abiyamo Juliana Tinuola Bamidele Memorial Ultra Modern Events Centre was handed over to Bababoni Anglican Church in Iyin Ekiti,” the statement read.

During the commissioning, the Oluyin of Iyin Ekiti, Oba Adeniyi Ajakaiye, expressed gratitude to Bamidele for his support, particularly in education, and assured the Senate Leader of the people’s ongoing support and prayers.

Ajakaiye also thanked Mr. President for approving the new Federal University in Iyin-Ekiti and for swiftly appointing council members and principal officers for the institution.
