Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo
Abiodun, on Wednesday, said he would demolish one of the model schools built in
Ilaro by his predecessor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, saying the building is
structurally defective.
Abiodun, who disclosed this at
the Ogun West senatorial district town hall meeting on 2020 budget, however,
assured that the school would be reconstructed.
At the event held in Ilaro, Yewa
South Local Government Area, the governor also promised to revisit and revive
the abandoned Gateway Hotel, Ota whose concessioning was terminated by the
Amosun administration.
The meeting, attended by
traditional, religious and political leaders as well as representatives of
market associations, professional bodies, civil society organisations and
student unions, was held to harness the contributions of citizens across all
critical sectors for the 2020 budget.
Abiodun vowed not to allow the
resources of the state used for capital projects to be frittered away under any
guise.
He assured the gathering that his
administration will replace the structurally defective model school in Ilaro
with a standard facility to serve as technical and vocational education
training centre.
Abiodun said the the need to
demolish the model college was due to the recommendations of a committee he set
up to look into contracts awarded under the past administration.
He, however, said his actions
were not to witch-hunt Amosun or anybody, but to make sure the resources of the
state did not waste away.
