The Ekiti State Governor, Chief
Ayodele Fayose, has approved the disbursement of another tranche of over 200
million naira as car loans to 645 workers in the State.
The State Commissioner for
Finance, Chief Toyin Ojo who made this known in Ado-Ekiti, explaining that the
loans would be disbursed as usual with beneficiaries receiving sums ranging
from 80,000 Naira to 1.5 million Naira depending on their individual salary grade
level.
Reiterating the commitment of
Fayose-led administration to the welfare of workers, Chief Ojo noted that
N896,950,000 had been given out as car loans to 2,942 workers since the
inception of the present administration in the State.
According to him, 2,165 workers
also received N490,730,000 as housing loans during the same period, noting that
Government’s gesture was in spite of the paucity of funds in the State
occasioned by the general economic downturn and the seriously dwindling allocation
from the federation account as well as the overwhelming debt burden created by
the immediate past administration.
The Commissioner charged
beneficiaries of the loans to make the most of it, and cautioned them against
spending the money on items that would not add value to their lives.
He solicited the continued
support of workers for government’s efforts to improve their lot and develop
the State.
Describing the State workforce as
the engine-room of government, Ojo emphasized that it would be difficult to
achieve set goals without the support of workers and their dedication to
duties.
