DAPO ABIODUN: We’ll take a stand on Ogun Poly, Ipokia soon

Dapo Abiodun: We'll take a stand on Ogun Poly, Ipokia soon
Dapo Abiodun, who declared that the idea behind the establishment of the institution was a good one, disclosed that the circumstances that led to its establishment, viability and cost would be taken into consideration, while the state government is taking a stand on it
The governor stated this while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after he visited the site of the institution, situated in Oke’ebo Area of Ipokia town, as part of the election campaigns of the All Progressives Congress (APC), for the local government elections coming up on July 24.
“We have appointed a committee to review all the projects that were ongoing but not completed by the previous administration and this project was reported amongst others.
“Now that I am here and have seen, I will go back and make my decision. Government is continuum and this administration has pledged that every commonwealth of ours that we have invested in any project, as well as that project is of socio-economic importance to our people, we will ensure its continuity”, Dapo Abiodun noted.
Dapo Abiodun pointed out that his administration met a chaotic situation where the polytechnic was moved to Ipokia to give way to the proposed Moshood Abiola University of Technology, Abeokuta, expressing unhappiness that either of the two Institutions got accreditation to begin operations.
“When we assumed office, Ogun State Polytechnic was not in session as it was meant to be relocated to this premises and the facility meant to become the Moshood Abiola University (MAUTECH) which neither had gotten accreditation was not operational, the same with this polytechnic. Thank God, we have been able to resolve that of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic and it is up and running”, he added.
Dapo Abiodun said seven buildings including a proposed 750 seater hall, two proposed 300 lecture theatres, an administration building, two hostels, and two classrooms were the only structures his administration met on the ground at the polytechnic.
Dapo Abiodun, however, disclosed that he had earlier sent an inter-ministerial committee to inspect facilities in the institution, access the level of completion, suitability, and readiness for use to enable the government to take an informed decision to the benefit of the people of the state.
“The facilities are still at a stage where they can’t be used; I don’t know why anyone will close the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic and move them here to Ipokia when the site was not even ready.
“Everything is not politics, we have to think properly. When we came on board, Ogun State Polytechnic, Ipokia was not operational, MAPOLY was not operational and the Moshood Abiola University of Technology was not operational. We are happy MAPOLY is now back in session.
“I saw everything that was there, it is a polytechnic they wanted to give you, in my mind, Ipokia deserves something better than a polytechnic.
“By the grace of God, I have asked a committee about two months ago, they came to see the proposed polytechnic and have submitted their report, I read it and prepared my mind to visit. I urge you to leave it to me, by the grace of God, we will complete the institution for the benefit of all the people of Ipokia and the state”, Abiodun said
The governor said that no fewer than 54 projects had been completed in Ogun West, noting “we have done 325 projects in two years throughout the state”.
On the Afa bridge in the council area, Dapo Abiodun pledged to complete it as promised during the governorship campaign in 2019, adding the bridge, when completed, would boost the socio-economic development of the area.
“The bridge remains an ongoing project but requires a lot of extensive work in terms realignment of the road itself, the elevation of the road surface, and a lot of civil works. We realized that it was important to bring the needed succour and needed relief to the people of Ipokia.
“We have an inbound and outbound lane that had been properly asphalted, each of the lanes is two and this has brought immediate succour and relief to the people of Ipokia in the medium term”, Dapo Abiodun submitted.

Let’s reflect as we wrap-up 2024″By Prudent Ludidi

 

As we stand here today, we are on the threshold of a new year. A year full of possibilities, opportunities, and promise. But before we step into the unknown, let’s take a moment to reflect on 2024.

Let's reflect as we wrap-up 2024"By Prudent Ludidi

Look back on the triumphs and the struggles. The moments that made you proud and the moments that made you question yourself. Think about the goals you set and the ones you achieved.

Reflection is not about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning from it. It’s about identifying what worked and what didn’t. What you can improve on and what you can let go of.

As you reflect on the past year, remember that you are not the same person you were these couple of months ago. You’ve grown, you’ve learned, and you’ve evolved.

Don’t be too hard on yourself about the mistakes you made or the opportunities you missed. Instead, focus on the progress you’ve made and the strength you’ve gained.

Now, as we wrap up this year and prepare for the next, ask yourself:

What do I want to achieve in the coming year?

What habits do I want to form?

What relationships do I want to nurture?

What skills do I want to develop?

What dreams do I want to chase?

The upcoming year is a blank canvas, waiting for you to paint your masterpiece. Don’t let fear or doubt hold you back. You have the power to create the life you want.

So, as we near the close of this chapter and begin a new one, remember that every ending marks a new beginning. Every setback is an opportunity for growth. And every success is a stepping stone to greater things.
