The World Bank has commended the Ekiti State Government for its effective implementation of all intervention programmes in the state, thereby bringing succour to the people.
The Country Director of World Bank in Nigeria, Mr. Shubham Chaudhuri, who gave the commendation last Monday during the Governor’s Town Hall meeting with beneficiaries of Ekiti State COVID-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (EK-CARES) programme in Ado-Ekiti, said the World Bank is happy with the state steering committee for working in line with the bank’s policy objectives.
He said the programme started in 2020 when the federal government and all the state governors approached the World Bank for support as a result of the negative impact of COVID-19 on the livelihood of the citizens, adding that he was happy with the success of the programme over the years, and assured the state government of continued support from the World Bank.
Chaudhuri also applauded the Ekiti State Government for keying into the programme and injecting adequate resources into it for the benefit of the people of the state.
The World Bank top official stated that former state Governor, Kayode Fayemi, and Governor Biodun Oyebanji have provided the necessary leadership and impetus which aided the success of the programmes in the state.
He commended the people for their words of appreciation to the state, federal government and the World Bank on the efforts aimed at improving their livelihood after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chaudhuri noted that the programme has been able to deliver the desired results.
In his remarks, Ekiti State Governor, Oyebanji, reiterated his commitment to veritable reforms and transparency in governance aimed at improving the quality of lives of the people through intervention programmes that would better their lots.
The governor said the state had developed a profile of excellence in the implementation of people-oriented programmes, adding that his government is committed to being the best state in the implementation of the NG-CARES.
He also announced the disbursement of over N1.3 billion to the delivery unit for the implementation activities towards the second verification assessment.
Oyebanji expressed his appreciation to World Bank and other stakeholders for supporting various programmes of the state, noting that any government with the best intentions may not be able to succeed in all its good plans if there were no support from institutions like the World Bank.
