Biodun Oyebanji, the executive Governor of Ekiti State has effected the distribution of 35 Million Naira to victims of fire disaster in the state. He further stated that the state government has expended a total of 100 Million Naira on such intervention in the last one year.
Christiana Afuye, the deputy governor of the state who represented the state governor at the cheque distributing event made this disclosure.
“This humongous expenditure, shouldered by the Oyebanj administration, attests to how people-centric his government was.”
”Fire disaster is one of the most devastating occurrences anyone or any family can experience. In a matter of minutes, years of hard work, investment and cherished memories can be reduced to ashes.”
“We acknowledge the trauma, distress and uncertainty that such incidents bring and we deeply sympathise with every victim affected by these unfortunate events.
“No amount of money you are given can replace whatever you have lost. But Governor Oyebanji believes this intervention will provide a measure of relief and serve as a motivation for recovery, rebuilding and renewed hope.”
