Commissioner for
Innovation, Science & Digital Economy
Ekiti State Government · Nigeria
2022 – Present (Reappointed 2025)
Leading the ministerial mandate to architect sub-national competitiveness, digital transformation, and the cultivation of innovation ecosystems.
“Government does not create innovation — it creates the conditions for innovation to be inevitable.”
— 'Seun Fakuade, Commissioner
The approach to governance in this office is informed by a clear theory: the state is most powerful not when it controls, but when it catalyses. Every programme, every initiative, and every policy framework has been designed around this conviction.
Drawing from comparative development experience — Singapore's EDB model, South Korea's tech corridors, and Taiwan's industrial architecture — we translate international best practice into Ekiti-specific delivery systems with national replication potential.
