Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, on Monday, gave N814 million to the 177 primary healthcare facilities in the state as investment f
Oyebanji charged the facilities to develop work plans that would guide the use of the fund, saying, “It is important that these funds are used judiciously. Our focus must be to deploy these resources in a manner that is catalytic and complementary to existing programmes.”
The governor spoke in Ado Ekiti during the flag-off of the World Bank-supported Impact Project in Ekiti State, where he handed over N4.6 million in cheques to each of the 177 PHC facilities in the state, amounting to N814.2 million. He said, “Out of the 36 states in the federation, only Ekiti State has secured approval from the World Bank to implement both components of the Impact Project. This is proof of our readiness to seize all opportunities available to us to improve the health of Ekiti people, and an indication of the confidence our partners have in us, to deliver.
“Under this programme, 177 PHC facilities will each receive the sum of N4.6 million as a one-off investment fund. I expect facilities to use these funds to purchase drugs and consumables through our Drug Management Agency, carry out basic renovations, purchase equipment, and ensure that data management tools are available.
