 MPPUD SEALS OFF 8 GAS AND PETROL STATIONS IN AKURE AND IDANRE OVER NON-POSSESSION OF VALID DOCUMENTS.

Ondo State Ministry of physical Planning and Urban Development has sealed off four Gas Stations in Akure, the state capital and four Petrol Stations in Idanre, the headquarters of Idanre local government area over non-possession of building permit and other necessary documents before embarking on construction of the stations.


The exercise took place in the two towns as the Ministry flagged-off   monitoring tour of  buildings without government permit  starting with petrol and gas stations  with a view to enforcing rules and regulations guiding building of structures for proper planning and development of major towns and cities in the state. 




Addressing Journalists during the tour, the Commissioner for the Ministry, Alhaji Amidu Takuro, who led the team, said  data available to the Ministry revealed that there was increasing number of indiscriminate construction of buildings, petrol and gas stations without processing the mandatory  land use clearance,  building permit, survey plan and Certificate of Occupancy, which often cause incessant building collapse  and indiscriminate fire outbreak with  human and material casualties. 


Alhaji Takuro, who noted that the exercise would cut across all the 18 Local Government Areas of the state , called on all  residents  intending to put up  structure in any part of the state to obtain the necessary documents from the Ministry before embarking on such project in order to avoid payment of fine, being prosecution at the law court or  demolishion  of such structure.

 

He added that any individual or organization  that evade payment of processing fees to obtain the necessary permit or approval on their structure has committed criminal offence by defrauding the state government of its internally generated revenue meant for the overall physical and   socioeconomic development of the state.


The Commissioner warned against any attempt to break the seal and the barricade placed to stop business at the stations, saying such action would amount to  violation of government order which will attract arrest and prosecution of the violators.


The monitoring team included the Permanent Secretary,  Mr Jimi Afolabi and other Directors in  the Ministry.

Man gets to positions of power and authority and bring to bear their inner qualities. Position, as we have it here, is used to do all sorts of things; good and bad. But mostly and vexatiously, position blinds us as we use it to cheat and deny others their rights. Certain men understand that position is an opportunity to etch their names in gold and put such in the same of time.   It is exactly fifty years today that the 42nd Deji of Akure, late Oba Agunsoyebioyinbo Ademuagun Adesida 11 joined his ancestors. That fateful day was Sunday and in the evening; darkness was just enveloping the city. It was the strange shouts of "opo ye o, opo ye o, opo ye o", that prompted me to rush out of our house at Oke aro. I saw people running helter, skelter. I did not bother about them. I was looking for the "electric
