Fiscal Continuity: Governor Oyebanji Reappoints Retired Accountant-General Titilayo Olayinka

In a bold move aimed at sustaining momentum in public financial management, Ekiti State Governor Biodun Oyebanji has reappointed Mrs. Titilayo Olayinka as the Accountant-General of the state, shortly after her official retirement from active public service.

According to reports from government sources, the decision was driven by the administration’s desire to maintain continuity, fiscal discipline, and institutional memory within the state’s treasury operations. Mrs. Olayinka had previously served in the role, where she allegedly led several key initiatives that bolstered revenue accountability and streamlined state financial reporting.

Official statements from the governor's executive team emphasized that her retention was rooted in her exceptional technical competence, unquestioned integrity, and crucial contributions to the state's financial transparency agenda. At a time when sub-national economies across Nigeria face severe macroeconomic pressures, the executive arm considers her leadership vital to steering Ekiti State's fiscal framework.

The reappointment takes immediate effect, granting Mrs. Olayinka renewed mandate to oversee state financial accounts, treasury procedures, and executive compliance standards.
