Ekiti state government will within the next few days refunded money over-deducted from the salaries of workers for car, housing and computer loans.
This followed the submission of the report by a committee set up by the state governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, that looked into the matter.
Speaking on an interview programme on radio and television in Ado-Ekiti, Governor Fayose also promised that the legacy projects embarked upon by his administration would be completed as scheduled.
Fayose said teachers, whose salaries were over-deducted fell into those under the Teaching Service Commission and the State Universal Basic Education Board.
While giving the assurance that the money would be refunded shortly, the governor said steps had been taken to prevent a recurrence of such thing in the future.
On the legacy projects such as the flyover, the new Ojaba Market and the extension of the dualisation of the Ado-Ikere Road, Governor Fayose gave the assurance that they would be completed on time.

hindrances. I have taken it to personally impact on people’s lives positively. We need to put the people first,” he said.
The governor enjoined the state workers, in their capacity as the engine room of government, to rally round his administration to deliver on its promises.
He threatened to soon embark on unscheduled visits to public offices to ensure that issues relating to laziness and complacency among civil servants became a thing of the past.
The governor warned that any worker caught abdicating his responsibility in the process would be dealt with according to necessary industrial law. He used the occasion to announce that the 20th anniversary of the state creation coming up on October 1,2016 would be low-keyed due to the
