Ondo governor<\/a> dissociated himself from those alleged to have been stealing funds meant for the local governments from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).<\/p>\nIn a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Richard Olatunde, the governor explained that the refunds received by the state were expended on capital projects and the payment of accumulated salary arrears.<\/p>\n
He explained that the refunds received from the Federal Government were expended on some key capital projects across the three senatorial districts of the state.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the impactful projects undertaken and completed by this administration include the rehabilitation and asphalt overlay of the 32.6km Araromi-Alape road in Ilaje Local Government Area; 16.65km Ikaramu-Akunnu-chainnage 7-Oke Agbe Road in Akoko Northwest Local Government Area; 4.5km Agadagba Obon-New Ajapa Road in Ese-Odo Local Government Area; 3.0km Oke Igbo Township roads, Ile-Oluji\/Okeigbo Local Government Area, among others.<\/p>\n
\u201cRecently, the Governor commenced the rehabilitation of over 35 kilometres of network of roads in Akure, the state capital. The roads being rehabilitated are the existing ones built by past governments several years ago and which are already in bad shape with potholes and failed sections. The 9.5km Emure- Iporo Road and rehabilitation of 15.2 Akure phase \u201cD\u201d\u00a0 networks have all begun.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 10km Okitipupa-Igbokoda virgin road which will be commissioned by the Lagos State Governor, Mr.Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is another evidence of Governor Akeredolu\u2019s commitment to infrastructural development. These intensive capital projects are financed from these refunds and Internally Generated Revenue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe monthly FAAC receipts are devoted to the payment of salaries and pensions as agreed by Labour Leaders at the monthly meetings presided over by the Head of Service and Chairman of Joint Negotiating Council (JNC).<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite Governor Akeredolu\u2019s vow to always pay salaries and pensions as and when due, the financial crisis across the country occasioned by the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic resulted in non-payment of salaries in full for some months. As at January 2022, Government was owing four months salary arrears as against seven months inherited.<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernor Akeredolu, having promised the civil servants in the state to prioritise payment of salaries, has continued to clear these backlogs of arrears. On three occasions this year, the government has paid double salaries in a month, thereby reducing the number of arrears. All salaries will be cleared before the year ends.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf the amount expended on these infrastructural projects and payment of salary arrears is juxtaposed with the refunds, it is crystal clear that the monies were not mismanaged in Ondo State.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe administration of Governor Akeredolu stands on the tripod of transparency, accountability and integrity. We will continue to hoist the flag of transparency in governance while pursuing excellence in the journey to transform the state for the better,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
On the allegation that some governors are stealing local government funds, the statement maintained that the Akeredolu administration has not touched funds meant for local governments since its inception.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a matter of policy, monies meant for local governments are shared at their monthly Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC).<\/p>\n
\u201cMr Governor doesn\u2019t touch local government funds. The local government Chairmen can attest to the fact that they have total freedom in the management of their funds,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
