Kwara State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah on Monday distributed car loan worth N3billion to teachers and other civil servants in the state and also commissioned an NUJ ultra-modern press centre in Ilorin, the State capital.
Making the presentation of the car loan to beneficiaries at the Banquet Hall in Ilorin, the state Governor said the loan was "another opportunity to demonstrate this administration's long-standing commitment to improving the
welfare of civil servants across the state, including Secondary and Primary School teachers".
According to the Governor, civil servants are the foot soldiers of good governance and those who work silently to ensure that government's vision for the uncommon development of Kwara State comes to fruition on an effective and efficient basis.
"Being an impact-focussed administration, we accord the welfare of civil servants the highest priority as demonstrated by the prompt payment of salaries and especially by today's flag-off of N3b in vehicle loans to qualifying civil servants," Governor Ahmed added.
Realizing the crucial roles of civil servants, the governor emphasized, "this government approved the renovation of offices in Ministries of Health, Commerce and the Local Government Service Commission."
"Also put in place are welfare policies and programs such as training and retraining of staff for better performance, employment opportunities for the teaming youths of the state through KWABES, approval of the sale of government quarters to sitting civil servants and the recent negotiation with Estate Developers for providing houses at affordable rates to workers in the state."
