Oyetola’s Hometown Seeks Clean Water System, Functional Healthcare Centres
INDIGENES of Iragbiji, Boripe Local Government of Osun State, the hometown of the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy and former governor of the state, Adegboyega Oyetola, have sought improved road networks, functional healthcare centres, clean water system and sustainable employment opportunities for youths in the community.
The Chairman, Iragbiji Development Association (IDA), Dr. Lateef Raheem, stated this while rolling out the achievements of the Association while giving his speech at the 34th Iragbiji Day recently.
According to him, “the community had in the past year recorded major strides in education, health, and infrastructures
“Most notably, we witnessed the successful visitation of the National University Commission (NUC) to the Federal University of Agriculture and Development Studies, Iragbiji – a historic milestone that moves our dream of a fully accredited university closer to reality. The Iragbiji Development Association played a critical role in mobilising resources and coordinating community support for this achievement.
“We also continue our interventions in youth empowerment and scholarship for indigent students and community health outreach programmes. Despite these achievements, we must not relent. Our town still requires road networks, functional healthcare centres, clean water systems and sustainable employment opportunities for youths in the community.”
Also speaking, the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdur-Rasheed Olabomi said: “Iragbiji has recorded many achievements since I became the Aragbiji owing to our dedication and commitment to changing the age-long narrative from autocracy to traditional democracy that is development-driven with participatory governance, community engagement and collaboration with government and non-governmental organizations.
“Our investments in human development have obviously yielded bountiful harvest as evident in the socio-economic and structural development of Iragbiji. The ongoing construction of our “Civic Centre” for recreational activities, which has gulped hundreds of millions of naira, is a testament in this instance.
“We built an administrative monumental complex for both High Court and Magistrate Court solely by community effort without receiving a penny of contribution or donation from the government.
“Also, with our community effort only, we built state-of-the-art, ultra-modern palace, which today remains one of the most-aesthetically constructed palaces in South-west Nigeria.”
