Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has awarded
N1.2 billion worth of contract to Carpenters and
Furniture Association of Ekiti State.
The association on Monday evening signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with the state
government on the contract.
The Chief of Staff, Chief Dipo Anisulowo, who
represented the governor, said the contract was part of
the Stomach Infrastructure Programme of Fayose.
"This is an empowerment project. We are awarding the
furniture aspect of the Millennium Development Goals
project to these local furniture makers. The project
covers about six Local Government Areas in Ekiti State,
so they will make the chairs and the tables for all the
schools in the six LGAs.
"The whole project would cost the government about
N1.2 billion. This gesture by the governor is the first of
its kind in Ekiti State. The governor did this to make
good his promise to empower local contractors and
artisans in the state," he said.
Anisulowo appealed to the artisans to make good use of
the opportunity.
He said, "I hope you would not disappoint the governor
because he has reposed a lot of confidence in you to
have given you this project. I pray you will reciprocate
his kind gesture by doing a very good job."
Chairman of the association, Evangelist Micheal
Adeyemi (JP), expressed gratitude to the state
government on behalf of members.
My Comment:- This Man should get busy with more projects. The citizens of Ekiti State will do well to call him to order. He wasnt elected to campaign for Jonathan.
