Ajimobi: Akala is frustrating Handover Process

The 30-man Transition Committee set up by the Oyo State governor-elect, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, yesterday lamented the alleged refusal of Governor Adebayo Alao Akala to release necessary documents on the state of affairs.


The committee, headed by a former Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Busari Adebisi, said the counterpart committee set up by Alao-Akala said the governor did not give it permission to release the documents or give such information.
Adebisi said his committee requested data on the staff strength of ministries and the state’s account, but was yet to get any information.

He said: "We have only met once. We were told at the meeting that all the documents we requested for could not be made available because they did not receive such mandate from the governor.
"They asked us to write a letter itemising all we need, but the response was a disappointment. The Head of Service, Mr. Tajudeen Aremu, made it clear that his principal did not give him permission to disclose such documents about his administration. The only document we have gotten from them is about the inauguration ceremony. 

"This is not fair to the incoming government, because we need to know the position of the state in the areas of agriculture, education (number of schools and teachers), health (number of doctors, nurses, para-medical staff, why they have been on strike for about six months, what we can do to settle the situation, contracts awarded and their state of completion, how much has been paid and how much is outstanding, the position of roads and so on.
