The Ogo-Oluwa Local Government has announced the appointment of Hon. Makinde Isaac Opeyemi as its new Secretary, following the suspension of the former Secretary, Hon. Oladipupo Sunday Adebayo.
Hon. Opeyemi, who previously served as a Supervisory Councillor in the local government, is expected to bring his wealth of administrative experience and deep knowledge of grassroots governance to his new assignment.
He was presented appointment by the Executive Chairman of Ogo-Oluwa Local Government, Hon. Seun Ojo at the council on Tuesday.
It should be recalled that Adebayo was suspended over allegations bordering on misconduct and anti-party activities.
According to the council, the decision became necessary to avoid administrative vacuum and to ensure effective coordination of government activities at the local level.
The appointment also marks the return of the Secretary position to Ogo-Oluwa Ward 06, the ward previously represented by the former Secretary, a move described by stakeholders as a step towards balancing equity and fairness in the local government.
With his appointment, Hon. Opeyemi will be responsible for coordinating the administrative affairs of the council, serving as a key link between the chairman’s office, councillors, supervisory councillors and career officers, as well as ensuring proper documentation and implementation of council decisions.
The development is expected to strengthen the local government’s administrative structure, enhance service delivery and ensure continuity in governance.
Residents and political stakeholders will be watching closely as the new Secretary assumes duty and supports the chairman in the day-to-day administration of the council.
