The Lagos State House of Assembly has queried the Chairperson of Ayobo Ipaja Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Mrs. Bola Shobowale and the Council Manager, Mrs. Ogabi over the abuse of N350million monthly allocation received by the council for over four months.

The House Committee on Public Accounts (Local Govt.) issued the query when the management of Ayobo Ipaja LCDA appeared for an audit of the accounts of the council at the beginning of this month, but without the presence of the council boss.

Our inside source revealed that the council management had on two occasions attempted to appear before the House committee chaired by Hon. Sobur Olawale Omititi, but the committee rebuffed their request due to the absence of Shobowale, who was away for medical reasons.

However, the council management eventually met with the committee for an audit but got a query about the abuse of council funds.

Before this time, Omititi had insisted that his committee would only allow management of the council to appear and present its reports only if there was a written note from the ailing chairman that her vice should make presentations in her stead. However because she did not properly hand over when she was going for her surgeries, her vice could not take over.

This revelation encouraged the house committee not to give the council management audience when they earlier appeared for the audit.

Nonetheless, the committee sent an invitation to the council management, including the Vice, and the Council-Manager, where the issue of the abuse of monthly council allocations of over N350million was raised.

During the audit, it was discovered that whereas expenditures were made during the time Shobowale was away on medicals, (four months), there was no management or executive meeting that authorized such expenditures there was no hand-over at all by the council boss. The Council-Manager, Mrs. Ogabi, confirmed this to the committee.

Another anomaly discovered during the audit at the legislature was the unilateral inclusion of one Wole Aina, who acts as the supervisor for works but was never on the list approved by the state government for appointments in the council in April 2022. Because he is not known to the House, Aina was sent out of the committee room when he appeared as Super Works.

Most stakeholders have complained about the breakdown of governance in the council as a result of the absence of Shobowale, a lot of residents who make use of the health center have complained about the state of the health facility, particularly the power issue.

Our checks revealed that the sum of N200,000 was to be paid by the council to offset the backlog power bill for the facility to guarantee the restoration of power, yet the council could not meet up with this obligation.

This action angered a lawmaker who was the pioneer chairman of the council, Bisi Yusuf who came to the council secretariat to publicly protest the mis-governance in the once darling council. Shokunle Olushola, the house committee chairman on Health also expressed his disappointment at the management of the health facility as a result of the incompetence of the council leadership.

Sensing that the house was ready to suspend her, our checks revealed that the council boss was hurriedly brought to the office last Monday, but she could not perform any of her functions, since she is still recuperating from her surgical injuries.

Useless corrupt old hag should rot in jail.

Bastard dey use their money buy jewelry and to open super market.

Good effort by the auditors. Even if you get your appointment through godfatherism you still have to do your job.

I am sure she is not spending that money alone. That money will also reach the highest politician's hand whether he likes it or not. That is the problem of having a political jaganban or a god father in a state. Whether the god father likes it or not, I mean the god father does not need to ask directly, money meant for the state will get to his hand. Fear that they don't want to be removed, their interest in the future and fear of not wanting to be prosecuted will make them steal for the boss as they are stealing for themselves.

On the other hand, if a godfather who is feared, is honourable, lovable, and he himself is God fearing and ready to remove or punish erring state leaders who use the state resources on personal vanities, the state people will enjoy such governance and will not care that the state power is under the influence of a single person.

Unfortunately, that is not the case in any LGA, Lagos or Nigeria! Life is short, remember your creator at a time like this. Ensure to give your life to Christ. He is the only Way! Peace

It's not monthly, 350m for 4 months , no Local Government receives that monthly in Lagos

Local Government and their functions should be the main focus of Nigerians...


They are the closest to us

Shameless people.

That’s what you get when councillors and LG chairmen are appointed as means of settling the lower part of the political leadership positions. What you experience is complete mediocrity, disgrace and wastage of resources during their tenures. All you hear from them is the construction of toilets, painting of walls, renovation of secretariats, sweeping of markets and different worthless jobs to siphon funds.

The local governments are supposed to bring governance to communities with life changing projects. It is impossible to know your local government chairman, talk less of your councillor. They make themselves very difficult to access and seem to give a lot of powers to their SAs. An example is their supervisors on environments. Those ones appear like tin gods and carry themselves as the chairmen.

No local government owns a single caterpillar. Even the ones who own, are not able to maintain them. With caterpillars, they can fix roads. They need to fix drainages to make movement easier for citizens. They need to put restive youths to work, employing them on daily payments to clear drainages and sweep the roads.

We as citizens need to wake up and hold leaders accountable all the time. Until we are able to do so, our communities will remain underdeveloped.

Shameless people everywhere

Women are always the most corrupt.

Alimosho least developed? Where will you put ejigbo, ojo, badagry side? Just keep spewing shit

When the money no reach others them go probe... One or two top folks they left out...

BABAawoo47:

You”ll wonder what the LCDA were established to do. They get their allocations, yet you do not see any meaningful projects carried out. I have been to Ejigbo area and it is a complete disgrace. Ejigbo is a very disgusting area with very poor network of roads. The only good roads found there are those built by Ambode.

LCDAs collect taxes in various forms and yet you do not see projects.

Most if not all LGA and LCDA chairmen are just there to loot and steal. Itire Ikate LCDA is a perfect example.
