Later we have been discovering a lot needless loans taken by that government on non-viable projects.<br \/>\n\u201cFor instance, the Civic Centre they started in Ado-Ekiti, they have committed N1.2 billion into it and the contractors are saying another N1.2 billion is needed to complete it. Over N2 billion was spent on Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort and was given to their cronies to manage, as at now, less than N10 million has accrued as income from it.<br \/>\n\u201cThey said I have been given some money on federal roads they worked on that is a lie. The Federal Government is saying it won\u2019t reimburse Ekiti because the Fayemi administration did not take permission to work on those roads.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are just liaising with them to get the situation redressed. No kobo has also been given to the state from Ecological Funds,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nOn the frosty relationship between him and All Progressives Congress members of the House of Assembly, the governor accused the lawmakers of not putting Ekiti first in their considerations.<br \/>\n\u201cAdewale Omirin, as the speaker, did not attend my inauguration ceremony. After the event, we met and talked and we agreed to work together. They asked that their monthly running grant of N48 million be paid in full, even when other agencies have theirs slashed by 60 per cent or stopped totally because of poor finances, we still gave them their full grant.<br \/>\n\u201cThe N2 billion loan for SMEs that we wanted to access from the CBN, they now said they should be given 10 per cent of it, which is N200 million and I refused. They have a mindset and directive from their leaders that they must cripple my government and I know the people of the state will not allow that,\u201d he stated.<br \/>\nOn the retirement of some permanent secretaries, Fayose said the performance of some was below expectation, while one connived with the former administration to pay out more than N1 billion in the last four weeks of Fayemi\u2019s leadership of the state.<br \/>\n\u201cA situation where we have 36 permanent secretaries to 14 active ministries does not make sense and we are not going to allow any waste. The former governor had 104 special advisers\/ special assistants and they were given official cars at the expense of the state. By the time they left, most of the cars were not paid for and they left with them, \u201cthe governor added.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Tuition fees being paid by the students of the Ekiti State University has been slashed from \u00a0from N50, 000 to N30, 000.
