Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun has allocated farmlands to the 26 members of the state House of Assembly as part of efforts to ensure food security in the state.

Abiodun presented letters of allocation on Thursday to the lawmakers in his office in Abeokuta to commemorate the first anniversary of the 10th Assembly.

The governor said that the gesture was to make them contribute towards making the state the food basket of the country.

“I recall that I had promised to allocate agricultural land to all the Ogun State legislators as part of our food security and agricultural resurgence initiative, which is in line with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

” I am glad to present to you the letters of allocation for the speaker and the 25 members of the House of Assembly.

” I hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to ensure that you begin to grow what you eat and eat what you grow.

” This will be your way of ensuring the fulfilment of our desire to make Ogun state the food basket of the nation,” he said.

Abiodun lauded the assembly members for their commitment to the principles of democracy, good governance and the welfare of the citizens.

He observed that their dedication to legislative excellence had been instrumental in driving the progress and development of the state.

The governor emphasised that the lawmaker had in the last year passed numerous bills and resolutions aimed at improving the lives of the people.

Abiodun noted that their tireless efforts, unwavering commitment and collaborative spirit with the executive had made the state one of the best in the country.

Earlier, the Speaker, Oludaisi Elemide, described the last year as turbulent and filled with tension but maintained that the desire to give the people a purposeful representation saw them through the turbulent period.

Elemide lauded the governor for embarking on the complete renovation and restoration of the assembly complex.

The speaker assured the governor of the assembly’s cooperation in making laws that would fast-track the socio-economic development of the state.

The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA.
