The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja has implored the Federal Government to help solve the ecological problems staring his people in the face.
The first class monarch made this plea today in Abuja when he visited the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Dr George Akume.
In a release signed by his Media Aide, Adeola Oloko, the Olubadan acknowledged the previous interventions of the Federal Government and World Bank on Ogunpa channelisationprogramme. The Royal father however added that Ogunpa ecological problem gained more prominence because the areas affected are elitist areas stretching from Mokola, Ekotedo, Ogunpa, Oke Ado to Molete.
He therefore requested the assistance of the Federal Government to help solve the ecological problems threatening the down-troddenpeople living around Oranyan, Kudeti Agbongbon Area and some other parts of city that have not been in the spotlight due to no fault of theirs. According to him,what the numerous people along this route encounter during the rainy season is better imagined than told.
Responding, the Federal Government scribe, Dr George Akume ssid he was not surprised that Kabiyesi could come all the way from Ibadan to Abuja to bring the attention of the Federal Government to the plight of his people,adding that this is why Olubadan has won a wide perspective of affection.
He promised that everything would be done by the Federal Government to assist.
Oba Ladoja was accompanied by Senator Fatai Buhari (Oyo North) and Senator Sharafadeen Alli (Oyo South) amongst others.
Signed
Adeola Oloko
Media Aide,
Olubadan of Ibadanland.
