Dr Oyebanji who solicited the cooperation of entrepreneur groups in the state to enhance economy development of the state urged the visiting entrepreneur groups to continue to add values to the State; assuring that the Biodun Oyebanji-led administration would continue to create an atmosphere for the growth of their businesses. 

 

She appreciated the team for projecting the state government well in the society and called for more collaboration with them in executing some of the pet projects of her office.

While appreciating the group for supporting her office last Christmas to visit the sick children in Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, Ado-Ekiti, she assured them of her support to the course of the association.

Earlier in her remarks, the group coordinator in the State, Mrs Jane Adeyemo stated that the aim of creating the group was to help women become financially independent, successful, build homes and to attain and retain financial independence via networking and technology.

Adeyemo noted that the group has over 5000 members across all their selling platforms on social media, which enables them to sell to a wide range of customers within and outside the state and has organized three trade fairs which transcend beyond the state in collaboration with Ekiti chambers of commerce.

Ekiti Online Market Business Group appealed to Dr Oyebanji to always carry the group along in activities of the office of the first lady.
