The Ogun state government has
concluded plans to obtain $350m loan from the World Bank.
Ibikunle Amosun, governor of the
state, disclosed this when he received a delegation of the bank in Abeokuta,
the state capital.
The loan, according to Amosun,
would help create a system-driven environment for business, needed for better
welfare of citizens and good governance.
He said his administration would
do everything possible to secure the loan, saying the incoming administration
already had the support needed to enhance good governance.
He urged the bank’s team to
fast-track the process for its final approval.
Kofi Nouve, leader of the
delegation, said the loan would help the state government put in place
necessary reforms and critical social investments that would help uplift the
welfare of the populace.
“The team has got the final
approval to proceed with the final design mission,” Nouve said.
It should be noted that the
governor had appointed over 1,000 workers into the state’s civil service and
promoted 5,000 government workers barely a month to the end of his tenure.
Amosun will hand over to Dapo
Abiodun, the governor-elect, on May 29.
