He stated this while speaking at the Cenotaph in Alagbaka, Akure, the state capital, where the cheques were presented to the widows.
According to him, the loans were disbursed at zero interest.
Aiyedatiwa asserted that the move was made to ensure that the burden of repayment would not add to the economic challenges faced by the widows.
According to him, “It is the plan of our administration to continually put smiles on the faces of the widows and children of the fallen heroes. We, therefore, crave your understanding and support to make it sustainable.”
