Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose has
awarded a N1.2bn contract to the
Carpenters and Furniture Association in
the state; PUNCH reports.
Representing the Governor at the
signing of the Memorandum of
Understanding for the contract, Chief
Dipo Anisulowo, Chief of staff to the
Ekiti governor said, ''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 N1.2bn. 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.
''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'',
Anisulowo said.
