Scientific Speculation - Life on giant planet | Can centrifugal force reduce gravity?

In my world a space civilization is colonizing a massive solid planet. The planet has an extraordinarily fast rotation. The gravity is severe at the poles, making life impossible, but life flourish within a wide belt at the equator. This "green belt" is possible thanks to the extreme rotation - the centrifugal force greatly reduces the high gravity.
