Oyo to borrow £5m to purchase tractors



From Taiwo Oluwadare, Ibadan

Oyo State Government has notified the House of Assembly of plans to borrow £5 million, to purchase tractors.

This was made known in Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s correspondence to the House of Assembly.

The letter was sent last Thursday and read by Speaker Michael Adeyemo.

Deliberating on the letter, Adeyemo’s deputy, Musa Abdulwasi, commended the initiative.

He said it would enhance agricultural development in the state and urged the Executive to “make judicious use of the fund to achieve a laudable goal of promoting agriculture.”

Also, another member,  Segun Olaleye, said the matter should not be discussed on the floor of the House but, at the parliamentary caucus meeting.

Speaking to the contrary, the speaker said the matter should be discussed on the floor and added that it was a matter of interest to the people of the state that journalists needed to witness the deliberation.

But, Chairman of the Parliament, Segun Ajanaku supported Olaleye’s position as he maintained that the matter is a sensitive one that needed not be discussed openly.

The speaker, after unanimous agreement, directed that the matter be forwarded to the Committee on Appropriation and Agriculture, to deliberate on it on September 25, 2017 and present the report to the House, during plenary.

On  September 26, 2017, the matter would be listed for deliberation on the floor of the House.

Read Below. Can you recall how you started your acting career? I used to act very well in church and people loved it whenever I came on stage. Even before I mounted the stage, people would already be screaming in excitement and the cleric would then have to caution them so that everybody could hear what I had to say. It was the interest and love that people had for me that motivated me to take acting serious. Meanwhile, there was a friend of mine who we used to act together and go about performing in churches.

They told him to invite me and when I got there, they asked me if
