September 10, (THEWILL) – Honourable Joseph Foluso Badejo, the Chairman of Ijebu North-East Local Government Area of Ogun State, has been criticised for listing his achievements for the past two years.
A banner listing all the achievements of the council boss had appeared online. The banner had the picture of the local government boss and the governor of Ogun state boldly inscribed on it. Badejo, who was celebrating his two years in office, listed his achievement as including the redesign and printing of letterhead paper of the council, purchase of personal phone for official use, repair of a water pumping machine. Other achievements listed by the council boss on the banner include purchase of computer set for the administrative office, replacement of chairs and tables in the conference hall, repair of vehicle used for council’s revenue collection, the hosting of councilors retreat and sinking of boreholes at Imewuro, among others.
The local government boss also included the painting of the secretariat and the replacement of the electricity pole on the premises. However, many criticised the chairman for lacking foresight and ideas. They called for his removal, saying he lacked the knowledge of what it entailed to oversee a local government area.
Responding to the criticism and the banner, John Olufunmilayo, director of information in the local government council, said the banner was not printed by the local government, adding that it was printed to tarnish Badejo’s image. He revealed that the banner was mounted by evil-minded individuals to turn the people against the person of the chairman.
