I am endeared to this project of yours not only because of the fecundity of your ideas and focus but also because of the positive vibration which you have deplored to brand and sell the iconic geographical blessing of the state for global acceptance. I will not distance myself from your progressive stride but will walk the trail and hike the mountain with you.

He revealed “Hon Commissioner, we have crossed all the necessary ‘t’s and dotted all the needed ‘I’s. We are also happy that you are going to lead us unto the mountain top on Easter Monday for the great 1st Ekiti Mountain hike. We are grateful.”
