WOOW!! See How Ondo And Ogun State Government Met To Resolve Boundary Issues

Ondo and Ogun States Government on Thursday met to resolve boundary issues between the people of Atijere in Ilaje local government (Ondo) and Makun-Omi waterside local government (Ogun).

The meeting, which took place at the Governor’s Office, Abeokuta, the capital Ogun State, was attended by officials of the two states led by Deputy Governors of Ondo and Ogun, Hon. Agboola Ajayi and Mrs Yetunde Onanuga.
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, Ajayi appealed to people living in both communities to stop fighting each other.
He said discussed issues affecting the two communities.
Ajayi governor said Ogun delegation to be led by Onanuga is also expected to visit Ondo state, adding that at that meeting, both governments will address stakeholders including traditional rulers of the two warring communities.
“We are one, we will resolve all the issues. We are expecting the boundary commission to come and conduct the survey which had been done in Ogun.
“The two communities have done so many things together. The two Governors of our states are credible leaders, so I believe when the community leaders see us on television smiling, they will see that we mean well”, he said
Earlier, Onanuga noted that the meeting was not official, but that the sister states deemed it fit to hold the meeting to discuss some of the boundary issues.
“This is not an official meeting, it is an informal one with His Excellency, the deputy governor of Ondo State and chairman of the Ondo State boundary commission.
“Their administration just assumed office and the two sister states deemed it fit to hold a boundary meeting to resolve some of the issues pending.
“If a boundary meeting was to be held, the boundary commission will call the meeting. But we thought of it that this is something that can be discussed peacefully between the two states. We believe we are working together for the same purpose.
“I can authoritatively tell you that we have resolved to go back and talk to our people to live happily,” she said.
She later noted that the two states would invite the National Boundary Commission to conduct the survey they did in Ogun State in Ondo State as well, after which a meeting will be fixed to resolve the issues.
