Popular Ekiti indigenes in the entertainment sector have been honoured with ambassadorial roles. This was at the first phase of the redevelopment of Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort in Ekiti State, almost 10 years after it was abandoned. The ceremony also featured the public presentation of Governor Kayode Fayemi’s latest book, Regaining the Legacy. Fourteen Ekiti indigenes, who have distinguished themselves in various aspects of the arts, were decorated as Ekiti Cultural Ambassadors . Among them were Yinka Ayefele, Odunlade Adekola, Foluke Daramola, Moji Olaiya, Peter Fatomilola, Jimoh Aliu, Prof. Ojo Bakare, Elemure Ogunyemi, Peju Ogunmola and Akin Onipede. Others were Michael Omoshinlade (Micho Ade), Funmi Ajila, Akinade Ibuoye (Gaze Baba) and Yetunde Alabi, popularly known as Sasha. It was attended by a crowd of tourists and residents. Fayemi said the redevelopment was done because his government “cannot allow their God-given endowment to be a waste”. Restating his administration’s commitment to developing tourism, he added that the second phase of the redevelopment would involve the introduction of a games reserve, which would occupy about 10,000 hectares of land; a three- star hotel; a golf course and apartments, among others. Fayemi’s book is on his plans for the people, his perception about governance and his experience as a governor.
