In a statement issued by the Guild’s Public Relations Officer, Adeyemi Obadimu, it said the NGIJ delegation would arrive Akure, the Ondo State Capital on Monday, December 2, for the Tour.
Obadimu noted that the Governance Assessment is aimed at rooting for the truth, getting first-hand information from different stakeholders, and assessing the impact of the current administration in Ondo State.
”Our members from every part of the country will on Monday converge in Akure, Ondo State Capital, for commencement of Governance Assessment Tour to assess Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu administration’s impact on the people.
”Our crew will engage critical stakeholders, including traditional rulers, civil servants, labour unions, pensioners, top government officials, students, market men/women and others in order to get first-hand information about the current administration led by Governor Akeredolu.”
