Ondo State governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has said his administration would in the next few months create Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) for the development of the grassroots.

Akeredolu said his government was determined to make necessary moves that would accelerate all-round development of the people at the grassroots level.

He, however, assured the people of the state that the government would not create LCDAs which number would be more than necessary.

The Governor spoke in his office on Friday while receiving the report of the Committee on Creation of Local Council Development Areas led by the Chairman, Prince Lanke Odogiyan.

Arakunrin Akeredolu expressed the appreciation of the state government to the chairman and members of the committee for a thorough job done.

He said he was aware that the task they undertook was not the easiest anybody could do because of the seriousness the people attached to the issue of local government creation.

Akeredolu said: "We will look into this and make sure that in few months, we create the LCDAs. It's usual we still subject this to other people to look before exco looks at it."

The governor had on March 21, 2019 constituted the committee to look into the possibility of creating LCDAs in the state.

He said his decision was hinged on genuine economic development of the people.

According to the governor, the exercise would ultimately benefit the people and restore their dignity and pride as prime producers, and not as incurable consumers of other people's ideas and products.

I think having a functional LGA comes with a democratically elected Chairman and wards councillor's to move the development to the grassroots and not from creating more LCDAs...... I hope our Able Governor is reading this.

Hmm
First to comment after topic hit front page.

But the man is really working o.

Kudos to you Mr Akete!

Ok

Hope it will not be padi padi

Hope it is not going to be a compensation to your political friends like Buhari ministerial list

Creating lcds from LG is always a good development but our governors do it to expand their base, loyal supporters and rig elections.
If he succeeds in doing this, I hope he will conduct a credible election for chairman & councillors and not one party winning in all lcdas like we have seen in lagos & its neighboring state (ogun)

Nonsense! He is going to create council area when the Local isn’t functioning
Who is decieving who here

Governors dey vex ohh. First was Ebonyi state gov't. now Ondo. Twale

ok The ones dey created in lagos are USELESS. .Those peepz will go work @ 12pm and close @ 1.48 after normal gossip. .if rainfall, no work be dat..Their local council area road nah eyesore.Pothole here and theret

Better thing is to have democratically elected chairmen and councilors than creating LCDA.

I believe the paramount thing in governance should be the desire of the people, but not the wish of one man.

God is Good.

Aluwala Olongbo ogbon ati keranje ni They know what they are doing. Now that the Local govts get autonomy they want to device another means of splitting their fund so that they can always short change and syphon them particularly the LCDAs funds
