The Ekiti State Government, through the Bureau of Local Content, has reiterated its policy requiring construction companies to prioritize the employment of local workers and the use of locally sourced materials.
This the government said is In an effort to ensure the patronage of local artisans and vendors
The policy, overseen by the Director-General of the Ekiti State Bureau of Local Content, Olalekan Ijidale, has been reinforced, particularly for the Immobiliare construction company and other construction companies operating in the state.
During a recent unscheduled visit to an Immobiliare construction site, the Bureau team conducted a headcount to verify compliance with the local workforce and material requirements. This initiative is seen as a crucial component of the state’s efforts to boost economic and shared prosperity, as outlined in the agenda of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.
“We are committed to ensuring that the people of Ekiti State directly benefit from the development projects taking place in their communities,” said Ijidale. “By reaffirming the use of local workforce and materials, we are empowering our artisans and vendors, and driving economic growth from the grassroots.”
