Throughout her career, she has showcased relentless commitment towards uplifting the voices of the people and empowering communities. Her understanding of the power of communication as a catalyst for change has proven invaluable, creating platforms for dialogue, understanding, and progress. She performed so excellently well within few months of being appointed as SSA on Community Communications that His Excellency, Gov Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji (BAO) of Ekiti State had to create the bureau she heads now.
With every initiative she spearheads, Mary exhibits an unwavering belief in the importance of unity and collaboration. Her ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds and bring them together for a common cause is truly remarkable.

She has championed the cause of effective governance, using communication as a tool to bridge gaps, eradicate misinformation, and build trust between the government and its people. Her unwavering commitment to transparency and accountability sets a shining example for public servants across the nation.
Beyond Mary’s professional achievements, she is an embodiment of grace, kindness, and compassion. Her warm smile and genuine concern for the well-being of others have touched countless lives. Try to ask her followers on social media for evidence of this. You will be overwhelmed with the reports of her good gestures. Through her selflessness, she has become a source of inspiration to many, reminding us of the power of empathy and the importance of helping those in need.
As we celebrate this milestone in your life, Mary, let us express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering dedication to the people of Ekiti and selfless devotion to the betterment of the Ekiti ketes. Your thoughtful initiatives, innovative ideas, and tireless efforts have brought about positive change that will be felt for generations to come.
