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.
