Despite losing the Ekiti State Governorship election, Governor Kayode Fayemi \u00a0is set \u00a0to create additional 18 Council Development Areas based on the recommendations of the White Paper Committee set up by his administration.<\/p>\n
Already, Governor-elect, Ayo Fayose, has described the move as absurd.<\/p>\n
In a press statement, the Commissioner for Information and Civic Orientation, Mr. Tayo Ekundayo, said the new council areas will be created from the existing 16 local government areas following a referendum by the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC) and consideration of the outcome of the referendum by the State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n
They will operate as Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) pending the concurrence of the National Assembly, which would accord them the status of full-fledged local government councils.<\/p>\n
According to the commissioner, the new councils and their proposed headquarters as contained in the White Paper and approved by the State Executive Council are as follows:<\/p>\n
