Members of the Oyo State House of Assembly have commended the Executive Chairman of Ibadan North Local Government, Hon. Oluwaseun Olufade, for his achievements in grassroots development, describing him as a “true replica of Governor Seyi Makinde at the grassroots.”
The commendation came during an oversight visit by the House to the Ibadan North Local Government Secretariat, led by Hon. Akintunde Olajide (AKT), representing Lagelu Constituency and Chairman of the House Committee on Local Government.
Hon. Olajide explained that the visit was aimed at inspecting the condition of structures, buildings and the general environment of the council secretariat, with a view to recommending areas requiring renovation and improvement.
During the inspection, the lawmakers visited the ongoing reconstruction of the Local Government Legislative Building and commended Olufade for the project, describing the structure as outstanding and potentially the best legislative building among the 33 local governments in Oyo State.
On behalf of the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Debo Ogundoyin, Olajide appreciated Olufade for the warm reception extended to the delegation and commended the political functionaries, management and staff of Ibadan North for their hospitality.
He also urged council workers to continue supporting the administration of Governor Seyi Makinde, noting that the present administration had ensured timely promotions and payment of workers’ entitlements. He expressed optimism that the progress associated with the “Omítuntun” administration would continue beyond 2027.
Responding on behalf of Olufade, the Vice Chairman/Political Head of Aare Latosa LCDA, Hon. Ayoade, commended the Assembly for its supportive oversight visits across local governments, describing the exercise as beneficial to grassroots development. He also congratulated Hon. Bamidele Adeola, representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju Constituency, on his 50th birthday.
The visit was attended by the council’s legislative leadership, councillors, Chief of Staff Hon. Mustapha Hamdy, supervisory councillors, special assistants, heads of departments, NULGE representatives and other officials. The engagement further highlighted the importance of legislative oversight and collaboration between local governments and the state legislature in promoting effective grassroots governance.
