Kwara to disburse N4b loan to workers to purchase cars
The Kwara Government has concluded plans to disburse four billion naira loan to workers in the state this month to enable them buy cars.
The state's Commissioner for Information and Communication, Mr Tunji Morounfoye, made the disclosure in a chat with newsmen in Ilorin on Monday.
Morounfoye said that the car loan would cut across all cadres of civil servants in the state adding that the beneficiaries of the loan were selected after the government had considered their ability to pay back within four years.
Morounfoye did not disclose the number of beneficiaries but said that beneficiaries were those whose appointments had been confirmed.
The commissioner who also said the government had disbursed one billion naira as car loan to some civil servants in 2012 however declined comments on the amount each beneficiary would take but said that the loan would depend on the grade levels of the workers.
In a related development, the commissioner said the government had commenced advocacy visits to flood-prone areas to persuade residents to vacate river banks.
"We are fully prepared to guard against the occurrence of havoc created by flood in the state in 2012," morounfoye said.
He expressed the determination of the government to embark on more projects, aimed at uplifting the well being of the people at the grassroots.
