The newly installed Eleposo of Eposo in Remo North-East Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Ogun State, Oba Mukaila Akanji Olabinjo, has been charged to consider his appointment as a call to service by using his office to attract worthwhile self-help projects in order to complement government’s efforts to develop Eposo community and the state at large.
The state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, gave the charge at the installation and presentation of staff of office to Oba Olabinjo at the Eposo palace in Ode-Remo.
Amosun, who was represented by the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Chief Jide Ojuko, charged the traditional ruler to continue to champion efforts that would enhance peaceful coexistence among people of the local government and the entire Remo land.
He said:‘’I enjoin the people of Eposo to give the new traditional ruler the necessary support and cooperation to move Eposo forward. As a developing community, all hands must be on deck to pave the way for speedy development in all sectors of its socioeconomic life.’’
The governor, in a release signed by the Press Officer of the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Oluwaseun Boye, also promised to ensure that the people of Ogun State would continue to enjoy dividends of democracy, irrespective of their location, religion or political affiliations, adding that the implementation of the five cardinal programmes, as enshrined in the mission to rebuild the state, would be vigorously pursued.
