.......Pleads to Governor Abiodun to approve payment of OgunEduCash contracts
Some of the contractors who were awarded thousands of textbooks by Ogun State Government in a bid to empower the secondary and primary schools under OgunEduCash initiative has begged Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun to approve the payment of their March, 2024.
Most of them secured loans from microfinance to execute the project with deadline of payment but they could not meet up due to the delay in payments of the expected funds from Ogun State Government Amebo Newspapers NG learnt.
According to one of them who pleased on anonymity, said he used his personal funds and borrowed money to produce notebooks and supplied to Ogun state government and when it was time to pay him the problems started.
This is to call the attention of Ogun State Governor, His Excellency Prince (Dr) Dapo Abiodun, MFR to an issue involving the State government and a couple of contractors who were awarded printing contracts since March (at exactly the time OgunEduCASH was introduced).
The contract was a mass production of 800, 000 exercise books which was expected to be delivered a week from the day the contract was awarded. It should be noted that the contract which was awarded through the office of the Secretary to the State Government was not committed with cash or any deposit but an agreement to pay contractor in a week after delivery.
Since the delivery day, Your Excellency, we have not gotten any response from the State government - for a job which has been delivered since March, 2024.
Your Excellency, sir, kindly use your good office to help investigate and resolve the matter sir.
