Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele
Fayose, has suspended four top
government officials over allegation of
misuse of public utilities, saying that
such act has become a drain of public
resources.
Vanguard reports that Fayose has
therefore ordered the immediate
suspension of four government officials
and the setting up of a panel to look
into their activities and the way they
manage government utilities in their
care.
NAIJ.com gathered that Fayose through
his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu
Adelusi, in a statement issued on
Sunday May 14 in Ado-Ekiti, gave the
directive while paying an inspection
visit to the state-owned Broiler
Processing Facility in Erifun, Ado-Ekiti
and the livestock pens.
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state
The governor expressed disgust that
barely three years after the
inauguration of the Broiler Processing
Facility, the cooling system and the
power generator had been vandalised
by some unknown persons.
Fayose also condemned the poor
attitude of the officers in charge of the
place and ordered their suspension.
In the same manner, the governor was
angry that the livestock pens were given
out to private individuals to use without
them paying appropriate money to the
coffers of the government.
“This is a poor and bad attitude we must
stop. Public facilities are provided
through the use of pubic funds and must
therefore be used judiciously.
Imagine a place built and inaugurated
about three years ago being in this sorry
state now. It means those in charge are
not competent and not doing their
work.
“Those using the livestock pens without
paying appropriately to the purse of the
government must do that within 24
hours or they will be ejected from this
place.
“If they want to use it fine. But they must
pay the appropriate fees. We must
change our attitude regarding the use of
state facilities and resources,” he said.
