Ekiti State Governor Kayode Fayemi has, as part of efforts towards the curtailment of the spread of the novel coronavirus disease in the state, opened a Support Account for the COVID-19 Pandemic and named an eight-person management committee to oversee the running of the account.
The committee was set up in line with the governor’s commitment to transparency and accountability
The account was opened specifically to receive donations from corporate bodies, philanthropists and other well-meaning members of the society who are willing to support the state government’s efforts to combat COVID-19. The expected support will also go towards providing palliatives for vulnerable persons in the state.
