Ademola Adeleke, the Osun State Governor, has made a new oath.
The governor pledged that his administration will reclaim the state property located in Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Governor Adeleke gave the assurance on Monday during an on- the- spot assessment of the Osun House located at No 18, Femi Okunnu Road, former Cooper Road, Ikoyi, Lagos State.
Adeleke who recalled that the gigantic 18 suit apartment was bought by the first superintendent governor of the state, the late Isiaka Adeleke for the purpose of serving as a liaison office reprobated the languorous station of the operation towards the proper conservation of the property.
While noting that the structure has no functional generating set, running pipe born water and other serviceability, he promised to set up a commission to look into it and carry out a proper disquisition with a view to resuscitating the dilapidated property.
“ This property was bought by my late family, the first Administrative Governor of Osun State as a liaison office. When I came the Governor, I made it a point of duty to have an on- the- spot assessment of all the state property located in different places. I visited the one in Abuja and work is ongoing on it.
“ I must be sincere with you, I'm not happy with the deplorable condition of this installation which has no functional generating set or running pipe- borne water and other necessary serviceability, it's rather unfortunate that the operation is still collecting service charges from the inhabitants.
“ I'm so passionate about this structure, this is why I ’m going to set up a commission to probe everything about this place and after that, we're going to work out a modality to reclaim it for the benefit of the state.
“ I learnt that the structure has been leased out. We want to know where the proceeds are being remitted.
“ I want to promise you that I ’m going to visit other places where Osun State Government has means and insure those converted to particular earnings by some people are reclaimed, ” the Governor concluded.
DAILY POST recalled that in 2022, the governor also paid an unscheduled visit to the Osun House in Abuja where he complained in the same manner.
The Osun State House in Abuja had been left dilapidated and the Governor Adeleke had criticized former administrations for their station towards the state property.
