As part of efforts to turn Akure to a modern city, the Deji of Akureland, Oba Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo, has called for the development of lands and properties in communities around the capital city of Ondo state.
To this end, the traditional head of Olokuta community in Akure South Local Government Area of Ondo State, the Olu of Olokuta, Chief Olatunbosun Miller, has called on landowners and farmers in the area to show evidence of ownership of their lands.
Miller said the verification became imperative in order to intimate landowners on steps taken by the community heads to develop their domains.
He said the effort was to complement Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s strides in turning Akure to a mega city and wade off undesirable elements who have been extorting money from unsuspecting landowners.
He said Oba Aladetoyinbo has directed all community heads to key into the development programme.
According to him, some parts of the land in the community would be earmarked for hospital, police station, market and Schools to make “the community a complete place where we can live.
To this end, a five-man committee has been put in place to ensure the smooth administration and control of the process.
The committee comprises the chairman, Prince Bisi Adeniyi; secretary, Sola Oke;. Others are Chief Olaloye Oladapo, Chief Taiwo Fagite and Chief Kayode Ajonijebu.
He assured that the committee would be fair in dealing with all the tenants and families of landowners saying that what is paramount is the development of Olokuta community
