Fayemi stressed the need for the students to shun and spend less time on social media and face their studies squarely for the great task ahead of them in future.

The wife of the governor also called on traditional rulers to ensure that Genital Mutilation among girl child becomes a thing of the past in the state.

While lamenting on the alarming rate of rape cases in the state, she urged traditional rulers not to cover rape offenders in their communities but to expose them and hand them over to the law enforcement agents.

Fayemi also used the opportunity to call on the Ekiti State Community and Social Development Agency, (EKCSDA to embark on projects that would be useful and of benefit to rural communities.
