Fayemi urged the new NCDC boss to justify the confidence reposed in him by the President, by improving on the excellent track records of his predecessor.
“On behalf of the government and people of Ekiti, I thank the President for considering excellent professionals from the state, for the opportunities to serve their fatherland through these strategic positions.
“We are convinced that he will not only add value to the organisations, but he will also demonstrate high levels of integrity and the ethos integrity for which the people of Ekiti are known. We wish Adetifa a successful tenure, Fayemi said.
