A member of Ekiti State House Of Assembly, representing Ilejemeje Constituency, Hon.( Mrs) Cecelia Dada has enjoined the contractors that won bids to handle the Millennium Development Goals Projects in Ilejemeje Local Government and other areas in the state to embrace local contents in the execution, implementation of their projects.
She gave the advice while the Millennium Development Goals Implementation Committee led by the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Barrister Dipo Anisulowo paid an unscheduled visit to Iye-Ekiti General Hospital, the Headquarter of Ilehejemeje Local Government yesterday.
According to her, doing this would go a long way in boosting, creating job opportunities and improve the socio- economic status of the communities in Ilejemeje Local Government and the state in general.
"We agree that you ( the contractors) have won the contracts but our sons and daughters must be actively involved in the execution of the projects because they are the major beneficiaries" She said.
She stressed that in the construction company, there were issues of increased cost of importation of facilities, equipment and materials which in turn had ripple effect on consumers, but gave the assurance that if opportunity were given to local content production and patronage, the work would be easier, faster and changing the socio economic conditions of the benefited communities.
She therefore commended the contractor handling all Millennium Development Goals Projects across the three senatorial districts of the state, particularly at Iye-Ekiti General Hospital for the quality of job done, adding that they would indeed create better living conditions for residents of Iye-Ekiti and Ilejemeje Local Government Area.
