OSOPADEC WILL NO LONGER CONSTRUCT WOODEN STRUCTURES IN ILAJE AND ESE-ODO LGAs – ABIKE BAYO-ILAWOLE
In line with the directive and vision of Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa’s administration, the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission (OSOPADEC) has announced that it will no longer award contracts for the construction of wooden structures in its mandate areas.
Established in 2000 to accelerate the development of oil-producing communities in the state, OSOPADEC is statutorily required to receive and manage 40% of the 13% oil derivation fund allocated to Ondo State.
The Commission’s Secretary, Princess Abike Bayo-Ilawole, disclosed this during progress assessment of the ongoing construction of a 1,000-meter concrete walkway with a jetty at Obe-Nla in Ilaje Local Government Area.
The concrete walkway is a groundbreaking initiative by Governor Aiyedatiwa’s administration aimed at improving the quality of life for residents, enhancing connectivity between communities, and stimulating economic activities within the region.
Since assuming office as governor in December last year, Governor Aiyedatiwa has revitalized the Commission to fulfill its critical role in developing the oil-producing areas.
Under the leadership of Princess Abike Bayo-Ilawole as Secretary, OSOPADEC has implemented various impactful projects. These include awarding scholarships to students in tertiary institutions across Nigeria, completing the Alape Road, supplying chairs, desks, textbooks, and other instructional materials to schools, among other noteworthy achievements.
