NNL: Oyo Sports Commissioner Salutes Crown FC, Urges 3SC To Defeat Go Round FC |OGBOMOSO INFO|

Oyo State commissioner for Youth and Sports, Mr. Seun Fakorede, has commended Crown FC of Ogbomoso for starting the 2019/2020 Nigeria National League on a good note.

The Ogbomoso side defeated visiting Bayelsa United 3-1 to begin the season. The visitors had opened the score cheat with a goal from Bernard Okorowanta in the 10th minute.

Abbey Thompson latched onto a defensive error by Bayelsa United's defender and coolly slotted home to equalize for the homers in the 30th minutes.

Thompson scored another goal in the 35th minutes while Taiwo AbdulRafiu made it 3-1 in the 89th minutes to put the homers in comfortable lead.

An elated Fakorede charged the management and staff of the team to ensure they maintain the tempo, adding that the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde would do everything to ensure the club and Shooting Stars Sports Club, 3SC, of Ibadan gain promotion to the elite division.

This is just as he urged the management and staff of the Oluyole soccer lords, 3SC, to do everything to defeat its opponent, Go Round FC, at the Adamasingba Stadium.
“I am happy with Crown FC’s performance in today’s league opener. It is cheering.

They should not relax. This is just the beginning. We have started well with our two clubs by releasing funds early enough to prosecute the league. We would do everything necessary for them. 3SC should also go all out to earn the maximum three(3) points tomorrow.

Governor Seyi Makinde would be glad to have the two clubs in the elites’ division next season. I know it has not happened in the history of Oyo State but it is doable. Some states have two representatives in the Nigeria Professional Premier League, NPFL,” he added.

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...
