ZENITHBLOG.com gathered that Fayose through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, in a statement issued on Sunday May 14 in Ado-Ekiti, gave the directive while paying an inspection visit to the state-owned Broiler Processing Facility in Erifun, Ado-Ekiti and the livestock pens.

The governor expressed disgust that barely three years after the inauguration of the Broiler Processing Facility, the cooling system and the power generator had been vandalised by some unknown persons.
Fayose also condemned the poor attitude of the officers in charge of the place
In the same manner, the governor was angry that the livestock pens were given out to private individuals to use without them paying appropriate money to the coffers of the government.
“This is a poor and bad attitude we must stop. Public facilities are provided through the use of pubic funds and must therefore be used judiciously.
Imagine a place built and inaugurated about three years ago being in this sorry state now. It means those in charge are not competent and not doing their work.
“Those using the livestock pens without paying appropriately to the purse of the government must do that within 24 hours or they will be ejected from this place.
“If they want to use it fine. But they must pay the appropriate fees. We must change our attitude regarding the use of state facilities and resources,” he said.
