Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun has pledged to restore the lost glory of Modakeke in 2014. Aregbesola made the promise in a message to the 28th Modakeke Ako-ri-aaye Day Celebration and Launch of N500million Community Development Fund.<\/p>\n
The governor, represented by the Permanent Secretary, State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Fatai Kolawole, said more local governments would be created.<\/p>\n
He said this issue, which had been before the Osun Assembly, would be actualised and would surely favour the people of Modakeke.<\/p>\n
“It is my fervent hope and prayer that the actualisation of this long-standing aspiration of the community will usher in total peace and progress in Osun and Ife land in particular\u2019\u2019, he said.<\/p>\n
Aregbesola added that Modakeke had not been left behind in the state development projects stressing that projects undertaken in Modakeke included the construction of 900-capacity middle school and provision of transformers to new areas in the town.<\/p>\n
The governor urged individuals and corporate bodies to complement these gestures through donations to the Community Development Fund.<\/p>\n
Earlier, the Ogunsua of Modakeke, Oba Francis Adedoyin, called on parents to educate their children and lay good foundation for them so as to have a brighter future.<\/p>\n
Adedoyin described education as the best legacy parents could give their children and urged parents to pay their children\u2019s school fees and monitor them regularly.<\/p>\n
The traditional ruler said that community development should be a joint responsibility and encouraged all sons and daughters of Modakeke living abroad to come home to lend support.<\/p>\n
The National\u00a0President of Modakeke Progress Union, Tajudeen Oke, said the indigenes had realised that government alone could not provide all their needs.<\/p>\n
Oke said that this prompted them to raise funds for the development of the community.<\/p>\n
He appealed to everyone to donate generously to the development fund to complete the Events Centre Complex, assuring that the donations would be wisely used for the development of Modakeke.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
