The People of Oloti Ward in Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State have condemned former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for his badly executed renovation of the Primary Healthcare Centre in his Oloti Ward 1, Boripe Local Government Area of Osun State.

Mass Protests Looms in Osun Over Accountant-General's Letter to APC instead of ALGON Office. Osogbo, June 25, 2025. We, the concerned citizens of Osun State, write to strongly condemn the deliberate and highly unprofessional action taken by the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mrs. Okolieaboh Rita O. FCA, in a letter dated 10th June 2025 with Reference No: OAGF/FA/FA/444/LGC,S/29/VOL.1/119/D(FA).

This letter, which should have rightly been directed to the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON) at its appropriate official address, Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Osun State Government Secretariat, Abere, Osogbo, Osu...
