OPINION: Fact Findings on the Alleged White Elephant Projects | By Bashorun Saintabey

Morality means sacrificing your personal interest for the interest of the group while being immoral means keeping the interest of self above the interest of the group.

The writer reminds me of a cretinous being. A cretin always act morally, physical and sound mind under-developed. The reason for such action is as a result of congenital deficiency of a certain hormone. The public are not cretinous in nature as they are fully aware of the activities of Governor Seyi Makinde Administration.

Yet, the truth shall always prevail before the eyes of the public.

The Mini Mapo Hall.

Where there is no adequate information, people tend to be misinformed.

Multimillion naira mini Mapo hall is a project of Ibadan South West Traditional council.

The project was informed by the need to erect a befitting edifice where the meetings and other business of the traditional council would be carried out.

Public should also take note that the council currently holds its meetings at the building owned by Ibadan Local Government Property located at the Town Planning, Ring Road. The project was nicknamed a ‘mini Mapo Hall’ to further develop Ibadan and make it comfortable for the traditional council members to carry out their duties.

The project is the brain child of the acting chairman of the council, Osi Olubadan of Ibadanland and former governor of the state, High Chief Rashidi Ladoja.

The public should also take note that the council’s building project chairman is Aare Alasa Balogun, Senior Chief Taiwo Oyekan. Chief Oyekan stated that the traditional council building would comprise a hall, conference room, chairman’s office, lavatory facilities and others.

This project is not a state government project as Governor Seyi Makinde was invited for the laying of foundation stone.

Powering of ‘Operation Light Up Ibadan’ with Diesel Generating Plants

To the writer, nothing is more terrible than activity without insight.

His statement can’t defeat the primary purpose of the project which is to help fight crime across the state by lighting up rural and urban areas not only Ibadan.

The residents of the state are aware of the intention of the governor on the project.

The project will be backed up with the installation of low energy LED lights which helps to reduce energy demand and the costs associated with the up-keep and maintenance. The smart control system allows Oyo State to have full control of all the lightings from one location. By implementing this smart technology the government believe this will help improve the security and economic activity of local people living and working in Oyo State. The state-of-the-art HESS (Hybrid Energy Storage System) is also involved.
The light up project include the replacement of the existing underperforming street light fittings as the writer chose to have a blind eye on that.

The writer shows that his insight into soul-action is negative, inability to discriminate the genuine from the sham of the past and incapacity to further one and discourage the other. He positioned his write up to deceive himself alone as Governor Seyi Makinde has always proven to the world that he is an icon of unblemished character, a man of good governance and not a wasteful spender like the last administration.

The writer should feel the pulse of the good people of Oyo State and he should make himself available for self examination that will help him as the key to insight, which is the key to wisdom.
