FG moves to assist Ekiti on ecological issues.

.…as Gov. Oyebanji meets SGF over Ilawe-Ado road mudslides, other issues.

 

The Federal Government is set to assist Ekiti State Government 

tackle the ecological issues ravaging some parts of the state.

Specifically, the Federal Government says it would accord the mudslides issue on Ilawe- Ado Road a top priority in its ecological support for the state. 

These assurances were given by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, during a meeting with Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji in Abuja on Sunday evening.

Governor Oyebanji had, at the meeting, tabled the mudslides issue which has made the Ilawe- Ado road impassible, as well as other ecological challenges in some parts of the state at the meeting with a plea for urgent action.

The SGF, whose office supervises the Ecological office, noted the Governor's request and assured that the Federal Government would act on it speedily, to avert further disaster.

It is recalled that the State Government had provided an alternative road for motorists shortly after the mudslides caused a huge damage to the Ilawe-Ado road. Recently, the Government has also commenced the rehabilitation of failed portions between Erijiyan-Ilawe-Igede road as an alternative to the Ado-Ilawe road. 

Governor Oyebanji says fixing the ecological issues with the support of the Federal Government would ensure a more lasting solution than a hurried rehabilitation of the Ilawe-Ado road. 

The Governor urges the people of the area as well as motorists plying the route to remain calm as the road is receiving urgent attention.

He also thanked the Federal Government and the SGF for the kind consideration for Ekiti ecological issues.

Landslide Kills 3 People Injured Several Others At Ijero-Ekiti Mining Site

Landslide Kills 3 People Injured Several Others At Ijero-Ekiti Mining Site.

It was a black Tuesday in Ijero-Ekiti on the 7th of February, 2023, as three people were killed by a  landslide while working at a mining site in Ijero-Ekiti, Ekiti State.

An eye witness who chose to be anonymous said the mining activities have been on going  for a very long time at different locations in Ijero-Ekiti with  no safety precautions for the workers nor commercial returns for the town.

"It was a very sad occurrence on Tuesday. Mining has to do with digging of the undergrounds. It was this underground digging that was going on when the landslide occurred. Three people were confirmed dead while three others who were seriously injured were immediately taken to different locations for medical attention" 

On further investigation, it was  revealed  that people of the town and other neighboring communities  not leaving out   pregnant women and underage children always troop into the site on daily basis to search and dig the ground for Morganites, Gemstones and other Mineral resources.

A tour of one the mining sites close to the State Specialist Hospital, revealed the dangers and grave ecological consequences that may befall the precious Hospital if urgent measures are not taken to mitigate against the deep tunnels  surrounding the only Health Care Facility in the community.

Meanwhile, the president of Ijero Development Association, Engr. Olaniyi Owoyomi who described the incident as unfortunate, expressed his sadness over the incident and prayed that God gives the families of the victims the fortitude to bear the colossal loss.

Meanwhile, the Ijero Development Association (IDA) which is the umbrella body of all the sons and daughters of Ijero-Ekiti had earlier filed a case against the Miner's Associations at The Federal High Court, Ado-Ekiti for their unconcerned attitudes towards the gravely impact of the mining activities on the community and its people.

It therefore,  call on the community leaders and relevant government agencies to intervene in the illegal mining activities without further delay, such that the Mineral resources which are blessings to the town will not end  up consuming all the able-bodied and promising youths of the town in their primes.

....describing his departure as unfortunate.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Biodun Oyebanji, has commiserated with the family of popular Islamic cleric, Alhaji Olowoyo Arikeuyo, the Awiye Adinni of Ekiti State, who passed on Thursday, describing his departure as unfortunate.

Governor Oyebanji in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media, Mr Yinka Oyebode, also commiserated with the Muslim community in the state, under the leadership of the Grand Imam and President General, league of Imams and Alfas Southwest, Delta and Edo States, Alhaji Jamiu Kewulere. He urged them to remain steadfast, knowing that God, being the author of life, can give and take at anytime.

The Governor who recalled that he was in touch with the late Islamic cleric throughout the period of his sickness, urged his family members and associates to take solace in the fact that the late Arikeuyo served Allah as a true believer and remained faithful till the end.

Governor Oyebanji who described the late Arikeuyo as a fearless preacher said the late cleric would be missed for his forthrightness and penchant for speaking truth to power.

“Alhaji Arikeuyo served Allah faithfully till he breathed his last. His ministry impacted many lives and that should serve as a consolation to his family.

“ On behalf of the Government and good people of Ekiti State, I commiserate with the immediate and extended family of the late Alhaji Arikeuyo and the Muslim community in the state on the passing of the frontline preacher. We pray that the Almighty Allah would grant him aljannah firdaus and grant the family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss”, the Governor added.

Northern Elders Forum Must Agree To Power Rotation: Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio-cultural Group Warns.

Northern Elders Forum Must Agree To Power Rotation: Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio-cultural Group Warns.

As the Presidential election is fast approaching in a couple of weeks, Nigerians across all divides are in high spirit to decide on who stirs the ship of the country beginning from May 29 2023 which will last for another four years from now. Nigeria is an entity, a federation of states, a home to a people with differing cultures, traditions, religious belief, languages and many more criteria that truly speaks of diversity in mankind. However, the beauty of same country lies in our unity, togetherness and living together as a great nation that is kown to be the most populous in Africa. We have been together for over a century dating from the almagation that was implemented by Lord Lugard as the northern and southern protectorates were merged in  a marriage of unity and peace. This is an accord and treaty that the founding fathers have long managed, respected and kept intact till date.

 Nigeia belongs to all and must be made to offer equity, fairness and justice to all her citizens across regional divide. The Northern Elders Forum or the so callerd Renewed Elders Forum parades prominent and well respected Nigerians from the northern part of the country and are so expected to preserve history, preserve our political tradition and pass the message of power rotation between the northern  and the southern block of Nigeria to their people without any attempt to manipulate such evergreen gentleman arrangement between brothers who are products of the 1914 almagamation.

 It is strange to hear that the elders forum from the north are still undecided as to who to endorse for the presidential election when election is less than 3 weeks from now. They have to be reminded that two major presidential candidates have emerged from the south block and are running on different political parties namely the APC and LP. On their end from the North a PDP and NNPP candidates are also into the race. Yes the candidates from the North have their legitimate right and freedom to run in the election as Nigerians but practically their participation in the 2023 Presidential election is a total breach of an existing political tradition and culture that absolutely preaches power rotation between the north and the south. One would have expected that the Northern Elders Forum under the leadership of Prof. Anglo Abdullahi  would come out and speak the truth to their sons Atiku Abubakar(PDP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso(NNPP) to retreat from their mission and drop such ambitions for the sake of a united Nigeria. 

The outgoing President Muhammad Buhari is from the north making the entire north benefit from the.existing culture  of power rotation from 2015 till date cumulating to eight(8) years by May 2023. Unarguably power must now shift to the south so that the people from  this block below the river Niger can also benefit from same privilege as Nigerians  We shall continue to appreciate the APC Northern Governors Forum for their reslove to abide by this tradition during their party primaries even in the face of intra party plots and  adversities. The truth must be told irrespective of whatever becomes the outcome. We are sure that Prof. Anglo Abduullahi and Hakeem Baba Ahmed and other members of the Northern Elders Forum will immediately be guided on the essence of directing the northern people to make their choices for Presidential election among the two presidential candidates from the south as this is sacrosanct for a more united Nigeria. Then when this is done, voters across Nigeria, both north and south can make their choices of who is best for the job 

Omoluabi Team Alliance Socio- cultural Group as a voice from the south appeals to the conscience of NEF to make their decision public and timely so as not to further keep their people in suspense as good shepherds.  They are advised to be exemplary and take decisions that agrees with our common political tradition which allows for power rotation in same manner the progressive governors did to allow fairness,  equity and justice have a place in the nations annals of political history. Power must shift to the south now as this is non- negotiable.
