Members of the Ekiti State Caucus in the House of Representatives have commended Cavista Holdings for its significant contributions to agriculture and tourism during a recent visit to two of the company’s flagship investments, Agbeyewa Farms and the Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort and Conference Centre. Led by Femi Bamisile, the delegation included AVM Rufus Adeniyi Ojuawo (rtd), Olusola Fatoba and David Kolawole Akinlayo.

The lawmakers were received by Cavista Holdings’ leadership team, including Olumide Olayomi, Vice President/Executive Director of Cavista Holdings, Lanre Sharafa Balogun, General Manager of Glocient Hospitality, a Cavista subsidiary managing the Ikogosi Resort, and the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Agbeyewa Farms, Seyi Oska Aiyeleso.

At Agbeyewa Farms, located in the heart of Ekiti, the lawmakers expressed deep admiration for the scale, innovation, and impact of the agricultural project.

Reputed as Nigeria’s largest cassava farm, Agbeyewa is driving food security, youth empowerment, and rural development in the region.

“I used to think I had a farm, but after visiting Agbeyewa, I realised I have a garden,” remarked Ojuawo. Bamisile, who reflected on his time living in the United States (U.S.), added: “It baffles me that someone can be in his comfort zone in the U.S. and still think of investing in agricultural activity like this in Ekiti. This is more than giving back.”

Akinlayo, moved by the transformation he witnessed, pledged further support: “I’m humbled today, and I’m happy because the Chairman of Agbeyewa Farms, John Olajide, is from my constituency. He has done wonderfully well here, and I’m going to sponsor 100 youths from my constituency for training.”

The visit also included a tour of the Ikogosi Warm Springs Resort and Conference Centre, which has undergone significant revitalisation under the management of Glocient Hospitality. Once in a state of disrepair, the resort is now reclaiming its place as a premier tourism destination in Nigeria.
