The Ekiti Stat Government has commenced an assessment of all projects undertaken by the 16 local governments and 22 local government development areas (LCDAs) in the state.
This is sequel to the release of funds to the councils for the implementation of projects.
The Project Assessment Committee, headed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Budget, Economic Planning and Performance Management, Mr Niyi Adebayo, commenced the verification exercise last week with visits to some local government areas.
The local government areas that have been visited include Efon, Ekiti South-West, Ijero, Moba, Oye and Ikole among others.
Adebayo said the team was set up by the Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, with the mandate to go around the local government areas and verify all the projects for which the councils have received funding.
