"NEED FOR THE IBADAN DRY PORT TO COMMENCE OPERATION TO SAVE IT FROM GOING MORIBUND"

Our distinguished honourable Taiwo Michael Akintola MHR representing Egbeda/Ona Ara Federal Constituency of Oyo State today the 2nd day of March 2016, on the floor of the House of Representatives moved a motion passed by the House on "NEED FOR THE IBADAN DRY PORT TO COMMENCE OPERATION TO SAVE IT FROM GOING MORIBUND".
The House:
Notes that in 2006, the Federal Government approved the setting up of five Inland Container Depots (ICDs) and three Container Freight Stations (CFS) and while the ICDs were located in Oyo, Abia, Plateau, Bauchi and Kano States, the three Container Freight Stations were sited in Katsina, Borno and Gombe States;
Also notes that the Oyo State Government, with 35% stake in Catamaran Logistics Limited, the concessionaires of Ibadan Dry Port, had earlier sought and obtained approval for redesignation of the ICD status in Ibadan to Inland Dry Port (IDP);
Aware that the IDP as against ICD, has status of Port of origin and destination, so that it can serve consigned cargoes;
Also aware that commencement of operations by Ibadan Dry Port would boost the revenue of surrounding States attract Investors, improve economic activities of the people and create employment for the Youth;
Worried that despite the heavy financial Investment in the Project since 2006 and completion of all Infrastructure since 2014 for its takeoff, the Project is still not operational;

Oyo picks Feb 12 for Olubadan’s burial, Buhari mourns

Late Oba Samuel Odulana

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday commiserated with the people of Ibadan and the Oyo State Government on the death of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Samuel Odulana Odugade 1.

He said the monarch’s death was a great loss not only to the people of Ibadan, but also the entire country.

Buhari, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said Odulana’s rich and wise counsel would be missed.

The President also extended condolences to the family of the late monarch.

He described the deceased as a patriot, promoter of peace, unity and champion of the wellbeing of his subjects.

“Nigeria needs the wisdom of such senior citizens and their wealth of experience and moral standards, especially at a time that we want to change the orientation and ethical values of our people to place higher priority on hard work, discipline, honesty, accountability and transparency.” Buhari said.

He urged mourners to take solace in the fact that Oba Odulana Odugade lived well and left behind remarkable imprints for his successor and admirers to emulate.

The President also prayed God to grant the soul of the late monarch a peaceful rest.

Meanwhile, the Oyo State Government has announced February 12, 2016 for the burial of the late monarch.

Oba Odugade died on Tuesday at the age of 101.

The state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, said during his visit to the Monatan palace of the late monarch on Friday that a burial committee that would include the family of the deceased and the Olubadan-in-Council would be constituted and that burial ceremony would begin on February 6.

Ajimobi was received into the palace by the Olubadan-in-Council, widow of the late Oba, Olori Morike, his first son, Prof. Femi Lana, and some Ibadan elders.

The governor said the ceremony would end on February 12 when the body of the late Oba would be committed to mother earth.

Ajimobi recalled that the late monarch contributed to his emergence as the governor and that he would be remembered for his love and passion for Ibadan as well as his glowing legacy.

He also described the late monarch as a patriot, who had contributed immensely to the development of Nigeria, urging those in position of authority to emulate the lifestyle of the late monarch.

The governor said, “He was a good father to all of us. We are happy and sad at the same time. We are happy that he grew old and lived a fruitful life. Olubadan was a disciplinarian and was orderly in his endeavours. He was elegant and he had integrity. Oba Odugade was very predictable and I wish he will be the type we will be having on this throne.

“He had a mind and heart of assessing people’s credibility. Olubadan was an accomplished human being by all standards. Even if it is about his age, he was fulfilled and contented with all he had. He was an epitome of patriotism, who was passionate about the progress of Ibadan.”

Also, the Bishop of Sword of the Spirit Ministries, Wale Oke, hailed the deceased’s virtues.

According to him, the late Odugade steered the ship of the Ibadan kingdom in a way that touched the lives of many people and impacted positively upon humanity.

Bishop Oke said the Olubadan lived for the good of all and the peace and progress of his people.

Congrats Ogbeni Rauf AREGBE!

The outcome of the gubernatorial election in Osun state was a clear demonstration  and reflection of the wishes of the people. I salute Osun voters for their show of doggedness, resoluteness and solidarity as they refused to be cowed, cajoled, castrated, caged and capitulated by d power at the center. To me such a gallant display of total and unfettered support for Governor Rauf Aregbesola in the face of brazen act of intimidation, arrest and harassment by security agents was uncommon.  If Nigerians could be that steadfast, bold and decisive nobody or government would be able to subvert our wishes. I also lauded INEC and other stakeholders for making the peoples votes count. As a chieftain of APC vying for Egbeda/Ona Ara federal seat in 2015 I promised to also strive to earn my peoples trust through genuine representation and massive developmental projects.   “We commend the people of Osun State for their turnout and the peaceful and orderly manner with which they have conducted themselves thus far. It's not a landslide victory but an earthquake victory. Congratulations to the good people of Osun State".
