Fayemi Thanks Fayose, Oni On COVID-19 Efforts

Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi, has hailed members of the COVID-19 Response Resource Mobilisation Committee, recently set up to mobilise and manage funds and projects in the state’s war against the coronavirus.

Governor Fayemi, in his inaugural message to members of the committee, said he was humbled and honoured by their positive response and readiness to serve the state at this crucial period.

The grand patron of the committee is Chief Afe Babalola while the two immediate past governors of the state Chief Ayodele Fayose and Chief Segun Oni are patrons.

He assured them that transparency and accountability would be maintained in the utilisation of the resources mobilised.

The Governor said he was particularly happy seeing that many of the members had started generating ideas and contacts as soon as they accepted to serve on the committee. This, according to him, is an indication that the state would achieve its set goal of curtailing the dreaded covid-19 through the assistance of the committee.

He revealed that much of the meetings of the 47-member committee would be held via teleconferencing and other technological means, in view of the need to observe social distancing.

Fayemi said: “I’ve had cause to speak with almost everyone on this platform in the past few days and I’m truly humbled and honoured by your genuine expression of concern and your enthusiasm and readiness to serve the state in combating this existential threat.

“I thank particularly our Grand Patron, Aare Afe Babalola, our patrons who are my predecessors in office, the chairman and members for your strong commitment to Ekiti State at this critical period. Indeed, some of you have started working with a relentless flow of ideas and contacts sent our way since you were contacted.

“I want to assure you that the resources mobilized will be used for the purpose for which it is intended and we will maintain transparency and accountability all through the process.”
