No part of Ogun will be ceded under my watch – Abiodun

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has assured the people of Ogun Waterside Local Government Area that his administration would not cede any part of the state to other states in the country.

Abiodun gave the assurance on Friday at a meeting with representatives of the local government, made up of traditional rulers, technocrats, and prominent government functionaries, held at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Speaking on some of the items discussed at the meeting, the former Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Segun Awonusi, said the governor had taken note of reported incursions into parts of the state from neighbouring states and has taken steps to address the issue.

Awonusi said: “We have come here to discuss the affairs of the local government with the governor. We appreciate him for what he has done so far, and we urge him to do more.

“Because of reports of incursions from Lagos and Ondo states on Ode-Omi and Makun to seize parts of our land, the governor has promised that he will ensure that not an inch of Ogun State is lost to any other state.

“He has also promised to provide adequate security so that our people can live in peace.”

Also speaking, the former Commissioner for Environment, Abdul Balogun, disclosed that the governor had given the people of the local government area an assurance of immediate rehabilitation of the Dau-Ibiade-Abigi-Efire-Makun-Ilisin road.

Balogun further stated the resolve of the governor to restore electricity supply to an area that has been in darkness for the past three years.
