Governor Approves Constituency Projects for 236 Councillors

November 27, 2023 • 2 min read

Gov. Dapo Abiodun of Ogun has approved constituency projects for all the 236 councillors in the state.

Abiodun stated this in a statement issued on Monday in Abeokuta by his Chief Press Secretary, Lekan Adeniran.

According to the statement, Abiodun spoke when he received the councillors who were on ground to pass a vote of confidence on his administration and also thank him for paying their full furniture allowance.

The approval, the governor said, was in fulfilment of his promise to ensure the councillors executed projects in their various constituencies as the closest to the people at the grassroots.

Abiodun, who recently approved the full payment of furniture allowance to the 236 councillors, also promised to ensure their continuous empowerment.

“You have reminded me of my promise to you about your constituency projects. Consider that done, because you are the closest to the grassroots. You are the ones representing us at the grassroots. You will not be put to shame.

“I am a promise-keeping governor. Whatever promise I make to you, I will definitely keep it.

“I also promised that I was going to ensure that you are sufficiently empowered. You are politicians; you must be empowered to continue to empower your various constituencies and I think I am trying,” he said.

Abiodun also thanked the judiciary for upholding the rule of law and called on opposition members to stop running around ‘to buy judgments’ and join his administration in moving the state to the next level.

He said that the state remained the fastest growing economy in the country, even as he ascribed the success to the team which shared the same vision with him.

The governor promised that his administration would spend the next three-and-a-half years building on the solid foundation laid in his first term, noting that no stone would be left unturned.

Earlier, the Chairman of the State Forum of Councillors, Olanrenwaju Adeleye, thanked the governor for approving and paying their full furniture allowance.

Adeleye also acknowledged Abiodun for executing, at least, a project in each of the 236 wards of the state.

He commended the governor for not abandoning projects left behind by the immediate past administration in the state.
