The Ondo State Government has defended its proposal to create Local Councils Development Areas (LCDAs) amid criticisms that it is embarking on a wild goose chase.
The government has already set up an 11-man committee to look into the proposal and make recommendations on the number and nature of the LCDAs to be created and has about 90 days to complete its work.
But an Ondo State-based group, Sunshine Liberation Front , has stacked the state government for proposing to create LCDAs. “This is a plot by the governor and his advisers to curry more political favour, score cheap points and share our limited funds amidst his party faithfuls at the expense of suffering Ondo State indigenes.
Responding to the allegation, the commissioner for information, Yemi Olowolabi, told PREMIUM TIMES that the move to create LCDAs was in response to the demands of the people of the state, particularly, from affected local government councils.
