Dapo Abiodun inaugurates new-look Ogun house of assembly

Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun, has inaugurated the newly renovated state house of assembly complex.  

On Wednesday, Abiodun presented the N1.054 trillion 2025 budget proposal to the state house of assembly.

The proposal was dubbed ‘Budget of Hope and Prosperity’. 

Following the budget presentation, the governor inaugurated the refurbished assembly complex.

According to the lawmakers, the administration is the first to renovate the complex since it was built 45 years ago.

Oludaisi Elemide, speaker of the house, commended the governor for upgrading the building, adding that prioritising the remodelling has strengthened the foundation of democracy in the state. 

The speaker described the transformation as a legacy that would be etched in the annals of the state. He said the upgrade depicts a commitment to progress on the part of the administration.

“All thanks to Almighty God and the State Governor, His Excellency, Prince Dapo Abiodun. It is one thing to desire the renovation of this complex, it is another thing for him to approve it,” he said.

“I recall when I came on board, he told me that he was going to make our complex the best legislative building in the country, and he has been living up to his words. I give commendation to him because, yes, the legacy is mine. 

“They will say it was in my tenure as the speaker of the house that this renovation was done.

“I am very delighted. I wish people would take a brisk ride back and see what we had before and compare it to what has been done at the moment, to see that a lot has been done.”
