Plans have been concluded to move traders at Kara cattle market in Isheri area of Ogun State to a more befitting site provided with state-of-the-art amenities to enhance profitability and production of healthy meat for consumption.
The state Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun dropped this hint when he inspected the market at its present location along with members of his cabinet. “We will build a place for the cattle traders equipped with modern amenities including a modern abattoir, as you all know that whatever project we do in Ogun state, it is always in line with Ogun standard” Amosun said. The Governor also revealed that the road leading to the new market site would be tarred, adding that adequate security arrangements would also be put in place. He commended the traders for allowing peace to reign in the area and urged them to be vigilant at all times in order not to allow criminals infiltrate them, saying if this happened, it would threaten existing peace. In their responses, representatives of the traders pledged their continuous support for the Senator Amosun led administration, pointing out that the planned relocation would be embraced with both hands as it was being done for their own good. Meanwhile, Governor Amosun has ordered the immediate stoppage of further dredging of the Ogun River at Isheri because of its possible effect on the environment. Amosun, who gave the directive during an on-the-spot assessment of the river, affirmed that government would not fold its arms and watch some selfish individuals continue milking the State dry of the revenue needed to embark on developmental projects for the benefit of the general masses. “They just come here to commit illegality and siphon the much needed revenue we need to develop our State, We will not allow this to continue” Amosun stated. The Governor explained that government would take necessary steps immediately to regulate operations at the river in conformity with modern ways of doing dredging business. “We are going to be technically involved as a government. All professionals in the area of dredging will be engaged to advise government and put this place in order. If flooding occurs here, it is going to affect many communities simply because of the selfish interest of some people” the Governor said.
