Amosun seeks Assembly’s nod to create 57 LCDAs

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, has sought for the approval of the State House of Assembly for the creation of 57 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).

Speaker, Hon. Suraju Ishola Adekanbi, who read the governor’s letter, on Thursday, at the plenary, said that the request was in furtherance of an attempt to meet the yearnings of the people of the state through the delivery of democratic dividends.

According to the letter, the creation of the Local Council Development Areas would further bring government nearer to the people and engender further development.

“I forward, herewith, the list of the existing and new Local Council Development Areas totaling 57 in all for your kind consideration in this regard,” the Governor stated.

Adekanbi also received the leadership of the Labour Unions in the State led by the Chairman of the State chapter of the Joint National Negotiating Council, Comrade Abiodun Olakanmi, on advocacy visit to address the ongoing strike by the State Government workers.

Meanwhile, the State House of Assembly has invited the Management of the State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) to appear before it to address an allegation levelled against one of its personnel by a lawmaker representing Abeokuta North Local Government, Hon. Olayiwola Ojodu.
