Presenting the vehicles to the Auditor General for Local Governments and top management of the establishment in Ado-Ekiti, the State Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Hon Folorunso Olabode explained that the development was to ensure transparency and accountability, stressing that effective audit of accounts would guarantee that revenues are received and spent according to laws and regulations.
According to him, the procurement of the vehicles was based on the commitment of Governor Biodun Oyebanji to the general wellbeing of workers and provision of conducive working environment for optimal productivity.
Hon. Olabode noted that the vehicles were procured from members of Ekiti State Car Dealers Association as directed by Governor Oyebanji to support indigenous and local suppliers.
He said that the vehicles would be distributed the Zonal Offices of Auditor General for Local Governments located in each of the three senatorial district in the state.
