Prince Jaiyeola, while stressing the need for the people of the council area to discharge their responsibilities to the government by paying taxes and rates accordingly said it is an efficient way of complementing government’s efforts at bringing development to their doorsteps.

 

He then enjoined them to perform their civic duties peacefully and live within the confines of the law as elections draw near in the state. He urged them to continue to support the present administration in the state under Governor Rauf Aregbesola whose desire for overall development of the state he described as unrivalled. The Executive Secretary also called on the council staff to demonstrate great commitment to service and show unalloyed loyalty to authority, noting that the success of any administration hinged on the cooperation of workers with the management.
