THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF IPOKIA LOCAL GOVERNMENT, HON. JOHNSON AKOHOMEH AVOSEH, INSPECTS THE SECOND PHASE OF ONGOING PROJECTS ACROSS ZONE C

The Executive Chairman of Ipokia Local Government, Hon. Johnson Akohomeh Avoseh, inspected the second phase of ongoing projects across Zone C, covering Ifonyintedo I, Ihunbo/Ilase, Ajegunle, and Idiroko Wards. The inspection exercise forms part of the administration’s commitment to ensuring quality project delivery and the timely completion of developments across the Local Government.

During the inspection at Community Primary School, Igboso Ori-Eke, the construction of two blocks of classrooms was assessed. Upon completion, the facility will be adequately equipped with 60 units of furniture to enhance the learning environment for pupils.

At Community Primary School, Shaasa (Ifonyintedo Ward), a block of two classrooms currently under construction was also inspected. The project is expected to be completed with 60 units of furniture to support effective teaching and learning.

In Ajegunle Ward, the ongoing construction of a Primary Health Care Centre at Ogosa was inspected. The project, which includes a solar-powered borehole, has progressed significantly and is currently at the roofing stage. This facility is expected to improve access to quality healthcare services for residents upon completion.

At Idiroko Ward, the renovation of a block of two classrooms was inspected. The upgraded facility will also be furnished with 60 units of furniture upon completion, further strengthening the educational infrastructure within the ward.

Additionally, several graded roads were inspected across the wards in Zone C. In Ifonyintedo Ward, Madoga, Ilagbe, and Iropo Roads were confirmed graded. In Idiroko Ward, roads including Mountain of Fire Road (Kanisuru), Current Hotel Road, Idologun Road, Odan Aje/Ayedun Road linking SS Road, Okoodan/Odanaje Ayedun linking Okodile, Bolintin Street, Etikoto, and Road Safety along DSS Road were inspected. Under Ihunbo/Ilase, Old Palace Road, Koko Road (Ilase), and Isepe to Ayetoro Road were also verified. In Ajegunle Ward, Asiwaju Oppresso Street, Adebowale Street (leading to Four Corner), and Cele Street were equally inspected.

Furthermore, the solar-powered borehole at Idologun-Owotedo in Ajegunle Ward, which had previously developed faults, has been fully repaired by the Local Government and is now functioning effectively to serve the community.

It is important to note that while work is ongoing in Zone C, there is no ward within Ipokia Local Government without at least two or more ongoing projects. The present administration remains committed to continuous monitoring, ensuring that all projects are completed and commissioned. There will be no abandoned projects.

The Chairman expresses profound appreciation to Prince Dr. Dapo Abiodun, CON, for his visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to infrastructural development across the State. His administration’s developmental blueprint, anchored on the ISEYA initiative, continues to provide the enabling environment for sustainable growth in local government areas, including Ipokia. Through this shared vision of building the future together, communities are witnessing impactful projects that improve living standards and strengthen socio-economic development.

BOAT OPERATORS IN IPOKIA LOCAL GOVERNMENT CHARGED TO PRIORITISE SECURITY AND SAFETY ON WATERWAYS

The Executive Chairman of Ipokia Local Government, Hon. Johnson Akohomeh Avoseh, has charged boat operators within the Local Government to be highly security conscious and remain extremely vigilant while discharging their duties, especially in view of the prevailing security challenges across the country.

The Chairman gave the charge during a meeting held with boat operators and representatives of riverine communities in Ipokia Local Government.

He emphasised the critical importance of safety on the waterways, particularly the dangers associated with overloading of boats. He stressed the mandatory use of life jackets by both operators and passengers, noting that the Local Government is currently working out modalities to provide additional safety jackets for users of the waterways.

The Chairman further disclosed that arrangements are underway to improve safety infrastructure across the jetties. These include grading of access roads leading to the various river jetties and the provision of solar-powered lights at the jetties to enhance visibility and deter criminal activities during early morning and evening operations.

In addition to safety measures, the Chairman placed strong emphasis on security protocols. He urged boat operators to be extra cautious about the people they carry, ensuring they are reasonably sure of passengers identities and intentions before boarding. Operators were advised to remain alert for any suspicious behaviour or unfamiliar individuals, avoid operating in isolation where possible, and promptly report any security concerns or threats to the relevant authorities or the Local Government. This vigilance is essential to prevent the waterways from being exploited by criminal elements amid the current national security situation.

He also urged the operators to make proper use of the life jackets already distributed by the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy. While admonishing operators to desist from the habit of overloading their boats, the Chairman reiterated the need for them to always prioritise the safety and security of lives and goods.

The meeting also provided an opportunity to re-emphasise the importance of maintaining a cordial and continuous working relationship with the Local Government, particularly in the area of Internally Generated Revenue (IGR). The boat operators unanimously agreed to this collaboration.

In attendance were representatives from the riverine communities of Izigi, Tongegi, Akere, Agada, Odo Ibatefin, Vawhe Pevi, Odo Aseko, Odo Nla Ijofin, Whekan, and others, alongside the boat operators, as well as their respective chairmen and secretaries.

The operators pledged to remain security conscious at all times, ensure strict compliance with all safety and security measures, be diligent in verifying the people they carry, and cooperate fully with the Local Government in all areas of concern.
