Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, western Nigeria on Wednesdat congratulated his predecessor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, over his appointment as Minister of Solid Minister, urging him to use his position for the commercial exploration of the abundant solid mineral resources in Ekiti State.
The governor said this in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, that President Mohammadu Buhari must have considered the need for commercial exploration of the solid minerals spread across towns and villages in Ekiti State before arriving at the choice of Fayemi as Minister of Solid Minerals.
“Ekiti has solid minerals like clay kaolin, cassiterite, tin ore, columbite, bauxite (alluminium ore), foundry sand and charconite granite.
“Even in Isan-Ekiti, Fayemi’s hometown, there is clay kaolin that can be used for abrasive, plastics, ceramics ware, pharmaceuticals, textiles, fertilizers, white tiles and insulator-ware pencils.
“Now that the Federal Government is talking about diversification of the economy, Fayemi should use his position to assist Ekiti State in harnessing its solid mineral resources for the economic benefit of the state and Nigeria.
“I therefore congratulate Fayemi for this appointment and thank President Buhari for the appointment.
“It is my prayers that God, in His infinite mercies will grant him (Fayemi) the wisdom and strength to use the new position for the betterment of Ekiti State in particular and Nigeria in general,” the

Everything is not about Ekiti, Ekiti and Ekiti. Please give us a break because he his a Minister of the Federal Republic. And if I may ask you, what have you done since you have resumed as a Governor of that state? Instead you run around criticizing Buhari. Please just find your square root.
