Community Media Practitioners Association of Nigeria (COMPASS) has lauded the move by Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun over his plan to complete abandoned Olokola Sea Port projects initiated by his predecessor, Ibikunle Amosun.
The President of the association, Tayo Aderinola made this known through a press release from his office on Sunday saying the step will not only boost the transportation system but as well add economy values to the state.
“Honestly, the Seaport project is a viable project such that when completed will be a source of employment to the citizens of the state and also bringing in financial values to both the state and federal government”.
“I believe governor Abiodun’s move to resuscitate the seaport project is a right step in the right direction and at the end of the day, things will be a lot more for the rule and the ruled”. he stated
Aderinola however, urged the people of Ogun state to ensure they give Dapo Abiodun led administration every necessary supports needed to fulfil its campaign promises of taking Ogun state to an enviable height.
The governor had said before now that he would complete only projects that had direct benefits to the people.
Abiodun explained that he decided not to abandon any of the ongoing projects which his predecessor could not complete, due to the fact that taxpayers’ money had been spent on them while he made it clear that the cost of the projects could be reviewed.
Abiodun, who said he would run an all-inclusive government, assured the people that his administration would prioritise the reconstruction and repairs of the rural, township and industrial roads which he had long commenced as promised.
