Oyo to blacklist communities for damage of public infrastructures
Oyo state government has said that communities that damage or do not maintain public infrastructures provided for them risk being blacklisted from further government support.
The Board Chairman of the Oyo State Community and Social Development Agency (OYCSDA), Dr. Idowu Oyeleke gave the warning while addressing journalists shortly after the meeting of the Board at the agency’s Secretariat in Osuntokun Area of Ibadan.
He also called on community leaders to embark on proper maintenance of the various community projects in their locality as a matter of showing that they are partners in progress with the government and also expressed dissatisfaction over the inability and failure of some communities to adhere to the lay down rules at ensuring that infrastructures contributed to their community by the government through the agency are preserved.
