OUR RECORDS ARE OPEN TO EXTERNAL VERIFICATION, SAYS ONDO GOVT.

The Ondo State government has nothing in its record to hide from internal and external verification bodies.

Commissioner for Economic planning and Budget, Pastor Emmanuel Igbasan made the declaration when he hosted the Independent Verification Agents (IVA) on their second results assessment visit on the program NG-CARES.

Igbasan explained that the State government had nothing to fear about its dealings, activities and implementation of programs, particularly, the OD-CARES.

"We have no restriction, bottlenecks to hinder any organisation or body from verifying our claims to enable them come out with a credible report".

While commending the World Bank and the Federal Government for coming up with the initiative, he applauded the design of the program.

"This is the best design I have seen since I have been a Focal Person for the World Bank assisted projects in the State. It has controls and safeguards embedded therein. It should be replicated for other programs."

He appealed to the team to do a thorough investigation of all the processes and outcomes to enable the State improve and consolidate.

Leader of the NG-CARES IVA team, Dr. Olanrewaju Ariyo said the controls and safeguards were put in place to serve as checks and balances against false claims.

The IVA team are in Ondo State for the second round of verification of results achieved made by Delivery Platforms under the CARES Program.

The parley was attended by the Permanent Secretary, Mr. Bayo Philip, the State Coordinator of OD-CARES, Mr. Bamidele Daisi and representatives of the Delivery Platforms on OD-CARES.

But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the same of time. It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors.
