Oyo State Governor Abiola Ajimobi has said in spite of
dwindling Federal Allocation to states, his administration has not taken any
loan.
He dismissed a rumour that his administration was giving
preference to foreign contractors, noting that over 70 per cent of projects
were being handled by indigenous contractors.
Ajimobi spoke on Monday on a live programme on the
Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS, The programme was part of
activities marking the third anniversary of his administration.
The governor said his administration was prudent in the
management of the state’s meagre resources.
He said ongoing road dualisation projects in Ibadan, Oyo,
Ogbomoso and Iseyin would be completed by June, adding that the dualisation of
the Idi Ape–Basorun-Akobo-Olorunda road, which will cost N7 billion, would
begin soon.
Ajimobi said his administration had fulfilled its promises
to the people, particularly on employment, adding that over 16,000 cadets were
recently recruited by the Youth Employment Scheme of Oyo State (YES-O), besides
the over 5,000 who were given permanent employment in various ministries,
departments and agencies.
