Makinde Approves N178.7 Million For Procurement Of Radio Communication Equipment For Security Agencies |OGBOMOSO INFO|





The government of Oyo State is set to deploy the 100 Kia Rio automatic transmission cars procured for use of security agencies in the state.

The state has also approved the sum of N178.7 million for the procurement of Radio Communication equipment for the security agencies in the state.

These were part of the disclosures made by the state’s Commissioner for Information, Mass Mobilization, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatunbosun, who briefed newsmen at the end of the State Executive Council meeting in Ibadan on Tuesday.
The commissioner said: “I want to tell you that the equipment we are procuring now are different from that of the vehicles. Those meant for the vehicles are there and the vehicles will be distributed next week by the special grace of God.

“They are sophisticated digital communication gadgets that can expose
whoever is involved in any security breach.
"The procurement of radio communication gadgets for the police and other paramilitary organizations throughout the state has been valued at N178,
700,000.00”

He also revealed that the 100 units of the security vehicles procured by the state have been branded and would be distributed to all security agencies in the state next week.
“Also, the 100 units of Kio cars that we procured have been worked upon, branded and will be distributed to all the security agencies next week,” he said.

While speaking on the Olore Correctional Centre saga, the commissioner
noted that many of the victims had been reunited with their families, adding that the remaining inmates have been sent to the state rehabilitation centre.

He said: “I can authoritatively tell you that if you get to the building at Sanyo now, you won't see any of the inmates there again. A majority of them have been released to their parents while the few ones whose parents government could not see have been sent to the State Rehabilitation Centre.

"Don’t forget that this government is not only responsible but also responsive to the yearnings of the people. Whatever action we take will always be in the interest of the people of Oyo State.

"We have succeeded, after treating and giving them proper care, in linking a majority of them with their parents while the remaining have been sent to the state's rehabilitation centre."

Akudaaya: Tinubu, Abacha and Shettima’s Theory of Ruthless Leadership | Festus Adedayo

  OPINION By Festus ADEDAYO In what seems to affirm that he wears controversies like apparel, vice presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Kashim Shettima, leapt into yet another at the twilight of last week. On Thursday at the 96th-anniversary celebration of the Yoruba Tennis Club in Ikoyi, Lagos state, Shettima was quoted to have said that Nigeria needed the “hospitality” of General Sani Abacha, Nigeria’s despotic military ruler; Nigeria’s own contribution to the list of infamous rulers who ruled the world with infernal ruthlessness. As the controversy over what he actually said raged, Shettima came out with a clarification: He actually said that in 2023, Nigeria needed a president who possessed “a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity”. Nigerians have since been engaged in dissecting what lay atop the mind of a man who could be the country’s vice president. “We need a leader with a dose of ruthlessness and taciturnity of General Sani Abacha… Nice men do not ma...

Oyo Speaker Meets Senate Leadership, Deliberates State Assembly, LG Autonomy |OGBOMOSO INFO|

The Speaker of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin met the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan to deliberate issues around financial autonomy for States Assembly and local governments. The brief meeting which was held yesterday after a national legislative assignment in Abuja, it’s considered necessary to improve cooperation between the National Assembly (Nigerian Senate and House of Representatives) and the State legislative arm. According to Ogundoyin, the wide gap between the National and the State assembly needs to be bridged to ensure that the common interest of the people are genuinely and adequately represented. He noted that the local government and State Assembly are closer to the people, saying the financial autonomy is essential towards meeting grassroot needs and making the State lawmakers run their legislative duties without hindrances. He said, “The distinguished Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan is a stakeholder in the nation...

LAUTECH: Solving One Problem But Creating Another |Adewuyi Adegbite

    By Adewuyi Adegbite The sole ownership of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso (LAUTECH) by Oyo State is a welcome development. Joint ownership of the institution by Oyo and Osun states has culminated into protracted crises in the institution, which has had telling effects on the students, the staff and its rating as the best state university in Nigeria as well as the relationship between the owner states. Thus, the taking over of the institution by the Oyo State Government is applauded by all and sundry as a pragmatic way of engendering peace. However, the report credited to the Oyo State Governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde that the institution would be run as a multi-campus is sad news for all Ogbomoso indigenes as well as lovers of justice. I wish to advise the Oyo State Government to reconsider the idea in the interest of peaceful coexistence among the various zones of the state, which is homogenous. Numerically and population-wise, Ogbomoso geo-political zo...
