Governor Dapo Abiodun has allocated land for agriculture to legislators in Ogun State in order to crub food insecurity in Nigeria.
The governor disclosed this on Thursday, where he said, “We recall that we had promised to allocate agricultural land to all the Ogun State legislators as part of our food security and agricultural resurgence initiative, which aligns with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Today, in fulfillment of this promise and in commemoration of your one year in office, we are glad to present to you the letters of allocation for the speaker and the 26 members of the House of Assembly. We hope you take advantage of this opportunity to ensure that you begin to grow what you eat and eat what you grow. This will be your way of ensuring the fulfillment of our desire to make Ogun State the breadbasket of the nation.
“For each of us, whether in the Executive or Legislative branch, history has presented a rare opportunity to lead and serve the people who have placed their hopes and aspirations on our ability to deliver the much-needed dividends of democracy. In doing so, we must understand and decide which side of the divide we want to be on and how we wish to be remembered.
“Together, we have a great task ahead. The expectations of our people are vast. We must strive to create an inclusive society where every citizen has the opportunity to thrive.”
