  "summary": "Dr. Tunji Olowolafe, the Chancellor of Ekiti State University (EKSU), has praised the Ekiti State Government for establishing six technical colleges across the state, viewing it as a strategic investment aimed at equipping young people with practical skills for the future economy. However, he stressed that sustained investment in infrastructure, modern equipment, curriculum development, and manpower is crucial to maximising the initiative's impact and meeting the growing demand for technical education. Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji, speaking at the Ekiti at 30 Future Summit, echoed Olowolafe's sentiments, emphasising the need to translate opportunities into tangible prosperity through innovation, technology, and productivity, with the Ekiti Knowledge Zone serving as a landmark initiative for the state's growth and competitiveness in the global economy.",
