By May/June, I can take you there to see the first assembled truck in Ondo state. We got the license last November by the help of Mr Governor “.


He revealed that there are about 2,000 investors ready to do business with the state adding that hub would generate more than 20,000 direct and indirect employment opportunities when working at its full capacity.

He said “ through cassava revolution programme which has engaged twenty thousand cassava farmers will have a modular processors. This processors will help dry the water content of cassava to the betterment of cassava farmers. This processors will be in 15 locations but we are starting with five, in Ogbagi, Emure-Ile in Owo, Omotoso, Ilu-Abo. When you take your cassava there, it washes it, dry it, measure it and pay you, so, you can see that everybody will feel the benefits of the industrial hub”.

Chief Ajipe while refuting claims that he was collecting money on behalf of the state government, said they only monitored government properties and blocked loopholes which has aided the increase in the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).

“What we do for Ondo state is to monitor, is to block loopholes and we have achieved that. What we ensure is that you don’t take government properties especially in the area of forestry and all that, and to a reasonable extent that has actually culminated into increase of IGR.”

“Take for example, in the ministry of Natural Resources, when we got there in 2017, the annual IGR generation was about 400 million naira, that first year we increased it to 800 million naira. What we did was just to ask questions”, he said

Stop wasting state resources....those things are for individuals and cooperatives.

So who are the targets who are going to buy these cars when our senators can't even convince themselves to buy local products? These are the people taking 20% of our budget.

Story Story !!!
Believe this news and you'll believe anything.

Each time when elections are near, our political office holders begin to
sponsor outrageous propaganda in the media

Yeye dey smell
But, I love Gov Akeredolu sha ... for standing firm on Amotekun

Whether real news or fake news, the fact of the matter is that by the time nigeria is disintegrated, Biafra and Oduduwa will continue to compete to outrank each other on every identifiable socio-economic metrics, which is how development grows exponentially. As long as we are all trapped in one box, we will only be talking about "those days", while being left behind.
