Amosun to demolish Kara market for modern city.

gun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, on Monday said his administration has concluded plans to develop a modern city, to be known as MITROS City, at Isheri, Ifo Local Government Area, where Kara market is located, through the public-private partnership.

He said this in his Oke Mosan office while receiving representatives of the private real estate firm, UBA Construction Consortium, which won the concession for the project.

Both parties later signed a concession agreement on the project.

Amosun, who said the city would occupy 2,000 hectares of land in and around the popular Kara market, added that the project was part of the administration’s housing and urban renewal programme.

He said plans were almost completed on the relocation of the cattle sellers and other traders  in Kara market including other settlers in that axis.

He said, “We set up a committee which include traders from the market and we agreed to relocate them. Before we move them, we want to ensure that the place we are relocating them is comfortably enough for them.”

The governor who was represented by the secretary to the state government, Mr. Taiwo Adeoluwa, said his administration was committed to the project.

He said, “The MITROS City will be a place where people can live and work in a clean and healthy environment. There are many companies with their factories in Ogun state, there must be a decent accommodation for their workers.”

The chairman, UBA Construction Consortium, Mr. Adeniyi Oyedele, said the company decided to key into the housing and urban renewal programme of the government, which he noted has been phenomenal in the last three and half years.

While he said the project would be delivered in five years, he said the company had finalised arrangements with its technical and financial partners.

Oyedele noted that it was not easy getting the bid for the project, as it took two years of rigorous work and waiting before the state executive council finally approved it.punch ng.

Fani kayode in support of corruption.

Fani – Kayode’s statement =“I have just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of SSS during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and the former Acting National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots are being fired at him and his family as we were speaking. “I am not sure what the issue is about but a situation where security men go to the home of a respected patriot like that and start shooting at him and his family for whatever reason is unacceptable and extremely dangerous. When you consider what is happening in Are’s home and marry with the shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Governor Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill Orubebe, Bukola Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted, threatened and demonised by the Federal Government it is clear that we are now in a police s...
