Ogun state

Mr Olakunle Oluomo, the Speaker of Ogun Assembly, on Tuesday advised the Local Government Transition Committees members in the state to focus on developing their areas.

Oluomo gave the advice in Abeokuta during the screening of the transition committee members sent to the House by Gov. Dapo Abiodun.

He said that the committee members should put political sentiments aside and serve the people diligently.

“The committee should be fair to all concerned. There should not be any unnecessary rivalry in the councils.

“Erase sentiments in your local governments and ensure dividends of democracy cut across all nooks and crannies.
