Ekiti State governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji said his administration will continue to ensure that government projects are in conformity with high standards so that Ekiti people would have value for their money.
Gov Oyebanji disclosed this in Ado Ekiti on Thursday when he led some state officials on an inspection of road projects in some parts of Ikere and Ado Ekiti.
According to Gov Oyebanji: βPart of what we have built into our strategy is continuous monitoring of government projects to ensure conformity with standard and value for money. Once in a while, I go out myself to check on what contractors are doing to ensure that Ekiti people have the best value for their money. Like I use to say, we are just custodians of the resources meant for Ekiti people and the resources must be deployed in a way and manner that will serve the interest of the majority of Ekiti people [therefore] this will be a continuous exercise.β
He also added: βI 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. I just hope they can keep this up and move very fast before the rain sets in.β
The governor, while interacting with residents who trooped out to see him at Ikere, said his administration would continue to deliver on its campaign promises.
