Makinde Set To Announce LG, LCDA Caretaker C'ttee Members



.  138 women also included


Oyo State Governor, Mr. Seyi Makinde, on Wednesday, gave the assurance that the list of members of Caretaker Committees for the 33 Local Government Areas and 35 Local Council Development Areas will soon be forwarded to the State House
 of Assembly.

The list to be forwarded will include 138 women with at least two women from each Local Council.

Makinde’s assurance came on the heels of yearnings of leaders, stakeholders and members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at a meeting held at the party secretariat, Molete, Ibadan.

Aside from making the names of the caretaker committee members known soon, Makinde vowed to ensure the LGs and LCDAs get more money for their operations.

“We’ll ensure the money gets to the Local Governments. We will announce the members of the caretaker committees soon. We’ll pass to the Oyo House of Assembly and we have been assured of rapid consideration".

“The PDP constitution has mandated that 35 per cent of positions must be reserved for women. So, 138 women are among the members of caretaker committees to be named. Two women each have been selected from the LGs and LCDAs”, Makinde said.

Addressing yearnings that more “core” PDP members occupy government positions, Makinde said though PDP members will get the lion share in his government, he still had to respect the coalition agreement upon which he became governor.

Rather than people rely on handouts or offers from government, Makinde said that he was keener on engendering a private sector-driven economy that will bring sustainable benefit to the people.

“They (coalition) also assisted, as PDP we will get the lion’s share but we have to ensure that those who supported us also get theirs".

“We have not made up to half of the appointments that we can make. However, beyond appointments, there are other opportunities. The government cannot employ everyone".
