According to the HOS, while the housing loans were disbursed in tranches, the car loans which range from N80,000 to N1.5 million depending on the beneficiary’s salary grade levels, were disbursed in full to the benefiting workers.
Faseluka added that Governor Fayose recently approved the integration of the workers in the state public service into the National Housing Funds (NHF) with effect from January this year as part of efforts at ensuring workers in the state have houses of their own.
He disclosed that the state government has already acquired 20 hectares of land opposite the Obasanjo Estate along Ikere Road, Ado Ekiti, for the takeoff of the staff housing scheme which would be financed by the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria.
