NIPSS Boss Decries FG's Low Presence in Ekiti From Dipo Okunmuyide in Ado-Ekiti Director-General of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Major-General Martins Osahor, has decried the low presence of Federal Government in Ekiti State. Osahor, who paid a courtesy call on Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, as the Head of National Delegation of the Forum of Heads of Federal Establishment in Ado-Ekiti, said the state is presently in the eye of every Nigerian because it is fast changing from a rural set up to a developing state. He commended the developmental efforts of the present administration, which centred on provision of basic infrastructural facilities, especially in the state capital through provision of access roads, water supply and others. Osahor disclosed that the British Department for Foreign Affairs (DFID) has given a grant to NIPSS to conduct research in Ekiti and some other states on how to enhance grassroots development. The NIPSS director-general, who was the guest speaker at an annual lecture at the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti, appealed to the state government to provide necessary support for the few federal parastatals and institutions in the state. In his speech, the National Chairman of the Forum of Federal Establishment, Dr. Ehizokale, observed the forum has moved beyond the scope of civil service to render service to their host communities, saying they have established primary and secondary schools which rank among the best in places like Edo and other states. In his response, Fayose assured that his administration would continue to give necessary support to all federal agencies in the state, saying the state and federal agents are both stakeholders in the Nigeria project and must work together in the overall interest of the teeming populace.
