Local Government Review Committee (LGRC) members, under Ogun Covid-19 Action Recovery and Economic Stimulus (OG-CARES), have been trained on project documentation and preparation for the next phase of disbursement for the execution of developmental projects.
Speaking at the training programme, organised by Community and Social Development Agency in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Commissioner for Finance and Chief Economic Adviser in the state, Mr. Dapo Okubadejo, highlighted state government’s efforts in alleviating the negative impact of Covid-19 at the grassroots.
Represented by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Development Partner Coordinator and Coordinator OG-CARES, Mr. Bayo Adenekan, the Commissioner charged participants to cooperate and support the community for the documentation of the projects to be executed within the community, imploring them to be proactive and expedite action on the projects in their communities.
“We should not be foot-dragging with the implementation of the projects, as Ogun State is one of the best when we talk of provision of social infrastructure for its citizenry. Let us do our bits and leave the rest to God. This is a very salient assignment; we need to collaborate to be able to achieve and make this a success”, he said.
On his part, Acting General Manager, CSDA/ Project Manager OG-CARES, Mr. Rahman Adelaja, commended the state government and the World Bank for prioritising the welfare of its citizens, urging members of the LGRC to cooperate with the community for proper documentation and implementation of projects to be executed in the communities.
Responding on behalf of the LGRC members, Mrs. Adeola Koleade, appreciated both the World Bank and the state government for the provision of infrastructure to the community, promising their cooperation for the success of the projects.
