The Eleegbo of Oye Ekiti High Chief Vincent Fadogba attested to the rapid physical growth recorded in the area in last 25 years, believing that more will still be witnessed in the coming years. 

He prayed for long live and good health for the traditional ruler, promising total support from the chiefs for sustainable peace and development.
