Hon.Adewale and Amuwo-Adofin LG Development



At a times when politics got tough in amuwo odofin local government, especially on who should be the next chairman of the local government , people were saying a lot of things that comrade Ayodele was young and that he could not pilot the affairs of local government.
Today,all those negative thoughs have been proved wrong by the performance of the executive chairman, comrade Ayodele Adewale.I believe in the adage that says ' tough time do not last but tough men do last.'
Comrade Adewale various landmark achievement ,visionary ,well-focused agenda, remarkable innovations, people-oriented and quality leadership have proved him the best man for the job.

I sincerely commend the leadership and political prowess of council boss. What the opposition thought he could not do he has done better. And of course this exemplary commitment has clearly enshrined his name in the history book of Amuwo Odofin local government and Nigeria in general.
The administration of the local government under the leadership of comarade Adewale has actually touched every facet of life in Amuwo Odofin local government..
If I should go by statistics, 50 street sweepers, 50 green club memebers, 30 drain duck workers, 143 street protectors/defenders,66 cleaners for public schools and 50 young men for man o'war, just to mention a few, have been employed within his 200 days in office.


The Amuwo-Odofin executive chairman comrade Ayodele Adewale , has embarked on building and renovation of schools, and also promoting education standard by purchasing JAMB and GCE forms for students in the council.

The council boss said that he has purchased 500 JAMB and 600 GCE forms for students who are willing to further their education to tertiary institution , in addition to free tutorial class for indigenous students to promote education in the aera.

Comrade Adewale said ,' we have constructed a block of six classrooms at Avenue primary school at Igbologun primary school,renovation of 3rd Avenue primary school, production of 220,000 exercise books and of 13380 uniforms for public primary schools in Amuwo-Odofin local government council.

In another development the renovation and upgrading of facilities at the public health center in mile2 and Festac, complete with equipment and free medical treatment to residents are also said to have become operational. Provision of medical equipment to Igbologun PHC, employment of seven doctors, two pharmacists to improve the health centre services have been put in place as regular EPI progammes, free diabetes and hypertension tests.

His administation has sisncerely treaded on the path of honour by fast tracking all the needed developments within the local government.He deserves kudos for work well done so far.

Non conduct of LG election in Anambra State

Dear Editor.

Non conduct of LG election in Anambra State

Why is it always Anambra State ? This was a statement credited to one of the Northern State Governors on the socio-political impasses in Anambra state.

Anambra state is the only state that is holding election in 2010, one year short of general election in Nigeria as a result of political palaver.

Anambra state also earned a special status in many other ways. Apart from being the first in the history of the country to record what could be termed the first civilian coup d’etat, it also took the same position in many other national developments. It is the first state where a sitting governor lost his or her position on the basis of a successful election petition, the first where a governor failed to celebrate a month in office.

It is on record that Anambra State is the only State that had not conducted local government elections since 1999, ten full years into the present political dispensation. By this singular act, the State government has not only alienated the people from having their representatives close enough to serve them but has denied them the much cherished dividends of democracy. This was exactly what President Umaru Musa Yar’adua had in mind when he said, “It is our abiding belief that failure in instituting an acceptable process by which the representatives of the people are chosen will definitely resort in failure in the long run. Yes Anambra State has failed in the long run, no good road Network, no water , no security of life and property,corruption and money laundering is now the order of the day.

We the members of Local Government Study Network are calling on the people of Anambra State not to vote for any governorship candidate that has no plan to conduct Local Government election.

SUSPENSION OF SOBA LG BOSS IN BAD FATE

SUSPENSION OF SOBA LG BOSS IN BAD FATE



Those who are smart to engage

in politics are punished by

being governed by those

who are dumber--Plato

The suspension of Alhaji Kawu Yakassai, the executive chairman of Soba Local Government of Kaduna State was done in bad fate. This is a man who was suspended on alleged offence of making payment on non-existing projects but the preliminary report of the committee investigating him has exonerated him.



The Chairman Adhoc Committee investigating his alleged offence, Alhaji Bashin Idris Aliyu was reported as saying, “we have inspected some of the projects executed by Kawu Yakassai, we found out that nearly all projects were in place. Some projects had been completed while others are undergoing completion.

But most importantly, we have found all projects to be in place. So, the committee will now come together to work on our series of observations.

We therefore commend Alhaji Bashiri Aliyu who is also the majority leader of Kaduna House of Assembly for his unbiased report.



Nigerians will like to see a situation where an alleged offence of any Local Government Chairman is first investigated before been suspended. This will save the innocent ones from unnecessary embarrassment.
