Ekiti State governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, said his administration has released all monies accruable to the 16 local government councils from the Federation Account since assuming office about seven months ago.

Governor Oyebanji who stated this while receiving the Auditor-General for Local Government, Dr (Mrs) Iyadunni Oke noted that local government administrators no longer have reasons not to develop their areas.

He added that his administration had given necessary approval for people-oriented projects expected to be carried out by the local government councils, which would also be monitored regularly by a team from his office in order to ensure compliance.
