The governor made the call while commissioning Ado Ekiti branch of First Inland
bank; located in what he called the fastest growing business district of the
state.
“From what I have heard about the bank, I want to say that as a government,
we will buy into the shares of First Inland bank so that we will partake in the
bountiful reward that awaits those who invest in the offer”,  Oni said.
“We welcome First Inland bank family formally to Ekiti State.”
On assumption of duty we promised to attract both local and foreign investment
to the state.
“About seven months into our tenure, we are beginning to feel that we would
meet the target we set.
“The fact that First Inland Bank has established a base here is a testimony
to that.
“This branch was initiated and completed entirely after we have won election
into office”, Governor Oni said.
The Governor who promised to continually provide attractive environment for
investors in the state praised First Inland bank for being one of the earliest
to embrace his government’s call to partner in accelerating development in the
state. “We will support your bank and its business and I am sure that you will
get remarkable return on your investment in Ekiti, he said.
He enjoined indigenes as well as other residents in Ekiti to buy First Inland
bank’s shares which is currently on offer at N9.50k. “This is good business.
Please try and subscribe so that the bank will realize that its decision to come
into Ekiti was not misplaced”, he said.
