Chairman, Senate Committee on Science and Technology, Prof. Ajayi Boroffice has urged states to exploit other means of generating revenue to augment their monthly allocation from the federal account.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Boroffice spoke at the Fourth Memorial Lecture in honour of the first governor of the old Ondo State, the late Michael Adekunle Ajasin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said it is worrisome that some states are not buoyant enough to execute capital projects and have resorted to borrowing, instead of boosting their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).<\/span><\/p>\n

Boroffice said the lack of focus by some governors is responsible for the poor financial status of their states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt is sad that many states are insolvent, they rely solely on monthly allocation. Many of them cannot even pay the minimum wage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome have sought for bonds to finance their capital projects. Ondo State is inclusive. The state has refused to pay minimum wage to its work force.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko, who was represented by the Commissioner for Urban and Regional Planning, Igbekele Dawodu, described the late Adekunle Ajasin as a man of great honour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The lecture, organised by a non-governmental organisation, Good Governance Monitor, was attended by the late Ajasin\u2019s daughter, Mrs. Jumoke Anifowose.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
