The Chairman of Oyo East Local Government, Hon. Olusola Peter Oluokun, has strongly condemned a recent letter concerning the Oyo East Local Government Secretariat renovation soliciting for funds.
In a statement issued in response to the unauthorised communication signed by the Director of Administration and General Services (DAGS), the council boss noted that the letter was released without his knowledge and does not reflect the views or decisions of the East LG Council.
“This document misrepresents our intentions and priorities,” Oluokun emphasized.
He further announced that the DAGS has been summoned to Ibadan by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Local Government for clarification.
“We take this situation very seriously. Necessary actions will be taken against any staff found to be in violation of council protocols,” he stated.
Oluokun urged the public to disregard the letter’s requests for funding and material donations, asserting,”While we appreciate the concern for the Oyo East Local Government Secretariat, any legitimate efforts for its revitalisation will be handled through proper channels.”
He noted that the council remained committed to transparency and accountability, and Oluokun reassured people of the local government that the council is actively working on plans to restore the Secretariat, emphasising that future initiatives will be conducted with full council endorsement and public awareness.
