Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has allocated farmlands to 25 members of the state House of Assembly to support the federal government’s agricultural resurgence initiative and ensure food security.

Abiodun resenting letters of allocation to the lawmakers, to commemorate the first anniversary of the 10th legislature at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, said the gesture was to make them contribute towards making the state the food basket of the country.

He praised their commitment to democracy, good governance, and citizens’ welfare, and acknowledged their dedication to legislative excellence.

He said: “I recall that I had promised to allocate agricultural land to all the Ogun State legislators as part of our food security and agricultural resurgence initiative, which is in line with the renewed hope agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“Today, in fulfillment of the promise and commemoration of your one year in office. I am glad to present to you the letters of allocation for the speaker and the 25 members of the House of Assembly, and I hope that you will 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 bread basket of the nation.”

The governor assured the lawmakers of his administration’s commitment to working closely with them to advance key initiatives that would drive the state’s development, prioritizing investments in infrastructure, healthcare, and technology.

“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 and how we wish to be remembered,” he added.

“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,”

Speaking earlier, the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Oludaisi Elemide described the last year as turbulent and filled with tension but maintained that the desire to give the people a purposeful representation saw them through the turbulent period.

Elemide thanked the governor for renovating the assembly complex and pledged the Assembly’s cooperation in making laws that would fast-track the state’s socio-economic development.
