Ekiti State Government has disbursed
about N144m as vehicle and housing loans to 712 teaching and
non-teaching staff in the state’s teaching service.
The Commissioner for Finance and Economic
Development, Chief Toyin Ojo, who made this known in Ado Ekiti, said
N63m of the sum was disbursed as car loans to 257 teaching and
non-teaching staff, based on their grade levels.
The Ministry of Information said the
vehicle loans ranged from N250,000 to N1m for teachers on grade level 7
to 16; while junior non-teaching staff from grade level 1 to 6 received
N70,000 each.
Ojo added that the balance of N81m of the
amount was disbursed as first and second tranches of staff housing
loans to 455 teaching and non-teaching staff.
Ojo
noted that last month, Governor Ayo Fayose approved the disbursement of
N119m as car loans to 623 workers in the public service, despite the
prevailing paucity of fund in the state. He said the gesture would
reduce the burden of obtaining bank loans, with the attendant high
interest rates.
He charged the teachers to reciprocate government’s intervention by discharging their duties conscientiously.
