Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji has said his administration
would continue to ensure that government projects are in conformity
with high standard so that Ekiti people could have the best value for
their money.
Governor Oyebanji disclosed this in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday when he led
some state officials on inspection of road projects in some parts of
Ikere and Ado Ekiti.
Speaking with Journalists shortly after the exercise, the Governor
said regular monitoring of projects is a strategy adopted by his
administration to ensure that Ekiti people have the best value for
their money and to ensure that contractors work according to
specifications.
While expressing satisfaction with the level and quality of work done
by the contractors on the roads constructions, the Governor said his
administration would continue to serve the interest of all Ekiti
people.
“Part of what we have built into our strategy is continuous monitoring
of government projects to ensure conformity with standard and value
for money, so once in a while I go out myself to check on what
contractors are doing to ensure that Ekiti people have the best of
value for their money and like I use to say that we are just custodian
of the resources meant for Ekiti people and the resources must be
deployed in a way and manner that will serve the interest of majority
of Ekiti people and this will be a continuous exercise.
“I am impressed with what I have seen and I must commend all the
contractors working on our roads and the Ministry of Works that
supervise them and I just hope they can keep this up and move very
fast before the rain sets in”. The Governor asserted.
The Governor, while interacting with some residents who trooped out to
see him at Ikere, said his administration would continue to deliver on
it’s campaign promises made to the people.
Oyebanji urged the residents to remain peaceful noting that we are all
one in Ekiti.
The Governor equally used the opportunity to solicit support for all
the 26 State House of Assembly candidates of his party, the All
Progressives Congress in Ekiti State come March 11. Noting that with
the emergence of the president-elect Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, all the
National Assembly members and all the House of Assembly members, his
administration would have enough support to perform excellently to
deliver dividend of democracy to the people.
