There is a man with the touch of liberty, an elite of proven worth’s and achievements, a magnet of unity and oneness, an ambassador of hope and renewal, Mr Bisi Omoyeni, former Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of WEMA Bank Plc and former Deputy Governor of Ekiti state.
This short piece is about our man who is rooted with a doubtless international repute, does not contain ornamental pages of epistles but a chronicle of some candid facts that will assist your sense of judgment when it comes to choose the Governor of Ekiti state in the next gubernatorial election.
One of the outstanding Virtues Omoyeni is known for is patriotism. His love for Ekiti and Ekiti people is priceless. He has the passion of developing minors into broadband men of global class. Testimonies abound across the 16 local government of Ekiti state about the unprecedented facilitation of the employment of over 700 Ekiti youths into the banking and other key sectors of the Nigeria economy. Most of these beneficiaries have developed into moguls of their worlds and have become men of influence and affluence. In addition to the special consideration for Ekiti Indigenes who seek employment, he also ensured that top management of the bank were Ekiti indigenes namely: General Manager/Chief Executive Officers of subsidiaries like Wema Securities & Finance Plc and Wema Homes Ltd, Group Head of Resource Management & Services(i. e. Personnel & Administration) as well as the Treasurer of the bank, among others.
One good turn deserves another. What a rare patriot. While some other Ekitis who occupied such sensitive positions are there for their personal gains, Omoyeni was concerned and concentrated on human development from Ekiti. He deserves to be supported.
This is the good news for the Ekiti state civil servants. It was during the tenure of Omoyeni as both Executive Director Resource Management & Services as well as GMD/CEO of WEMA Bank, that's Salaries of Staff were increased as high as 350%. Furthermore, as the GMD/CEO, Housing, Car and all other Staff loans were available to all staff even to the cadre of junior staff without hassle. Also all other entitlements, packages, allowances, bonuses and emoluments were paid as when due. He was the one that set up and managed the Staff Pension & Retirement Scheme of the Bank from 1987 to 2008. Besides, Omoyeni was once a civil servant in Ekiti. He was an untrained teacher in Ise Ekiti between 1975 and 1976 as well as a professionally qualified and trained teacher in Ilawe Ekiti between 1977 and 1979. In 1985 he was a Lecturer at the prestigious Polytechnic Ibadan. He understands your challenges and plight. He has a natural love for his staff. He is the answer to your needs.
Furthermore, many major towns in Ekiti State have branches of WEMA bank via our illustrious son, Bisi Omoyeni. This feat has positively affected business and economic growth in all Ekiti towns and villages. The Health Centre at the old garage in Ado Ekiti, the beautification of Adekunle Fajuyi Round About in Ado Ekiti, construction of a four story building besides Island club in Ado Ekiti and increasing the number of the bank branches to three in Ado Ekiti are some of the developments he brought to our State capital. He also facilitated the appointment of an Ado indigenes as the Chairman of Odu'a Group of Companies. What a patriot!
Omoyeni has assisted in facilitating grants and bank facilities to all past governments in Ekiti State since 1999 for economy and infrastructural developments. What a feat! What a legend! This is patriotism per excellence and unalloyed love for Ekiti State.
Omoyeni is a cistern of intellectualism distinction, pragmatism, experience and our proud son with an enviable sound pedigree. He was promoted twelve(12) times in Thirteen(13) years,a record that is very difficult to beat in the history of Banking in Nigeria. We need a man who can make the difference. A man to take our dear State
