Rotimi, representing Ikole/Oye Federal Constituency in Ekiti, raised the alarm while addressing newsmen in Ikole-Ekiti on Friday, shortly after meeting a total of 5,000 constituents and sharing yuletide gifts with them.
He attributed the withdrawal of commercial bank operations in Ikole-Ekiti and environs to the security challenges in the area. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the constituency had been facing security challenges in recent years, resulted in several cases of bank robberies, with their attendant loss of lives.
The lawmaker, however, assured his constituents of concerted efforts to restore normalcy back to the area, with full resumption of banking operations.
