Ilori-Oduntan said the government was determined to improve the quality of life of the people through the infrastructural drive of the Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, which had yielded positive results, advising the victims to make judicious use of the money.
Contributing, the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry, Dr Rotimiolu Akinlesi, commended the Governor for his steadfastness, in seeking the people’s cooperation with the present administration.
In his remark, the Director, Ogun State Emergency Management Agency (OGSEMA), Mr Olufolarin Ige, who sensitised the people on safety tips against natural disasters, said the government would continue to assist victims at all times.
Two of the beneficiaries, Venerable Sunday Agbaibu and Mrs Ajoke Mukaila, in their separate remarks lauded the government for the compensation, appealing for more dividends of democracy for the people.
