Oyo State Water Cooperation: A Dead End Under Gov. Seyi Makinde By Com. Adebayo Taofik Aderogba, mni

The so-called sterling performance of Engr. Seyi Makinde has been over exaggerated and over blown. The administration of Adewolu Ladoja, Alao Akala and Ajimobi highlighted water availability in some areas of Ibadan as sacrosanct and of immense necessity .

 Under Engr Seyi Makinde is an ugly situation of deteriorating and total neglect to water works Eleyele , Asejire dam which provided a profound solution to the water menace around Ibadan and its environs. GSM has prioritized a populist agenda over social amenities that would have benefited the masses.

 The Governor should be reminded that only the rich can afford the exuberant cost of Bolehole.
Investigative journalism reveals that some of the quality water equipment purchased by the regime of Ladoja was sold off by the GSM led government.

GSM is projecting himself as a masses oriented government, he must certify such claims by making meaningful steps  through  the rural roads network which will result in providing basic social amenities and far reaching economic incentive that will cushion the draconian effect of inflation in the State. 

GMS should stop prioritizing projects that will satisfy his personal  interest alone.

Comrade Aderogba Adebayo Taofik, mni, is a unionist in the food, beverage, and tobacco industry, with professional expertise in logistics and supply  chains. He is also a policy research and public affairs analyst, an advocate for good governance, and a chieftain of the Oyo APC.

Nation-building is a deliberate act. It requires capital, vision, and time. It also requires protection. The Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway is the product of a focused leadership, envisioned and boldly executed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. Subsequent Nigeria governemnt faltered in this stance due to lack of the courage to embarked on this gigantic project and other road projects like the Sokoto–Badagry Super Highway, to mention but few.

It is a signature infrastructure project conceived to connect nine coastal state...
