An Osun-based Civil Society, The Osun Masterminds, TOM, has expressed  concern over the crippled operation at the local government Secretariat across the State owing to the controversial ruling of the Court of Appeal sitting in Akure.

The Society made this known through its Executive Director, Wasiu Oyedokun- Allí at this month’s edition of the State of the State address.

While reaffirming the importance of local government to the development of the grassroots, the Society enjoined Local Government Employees to stay clear of politics, adding that gladiators behind the unrest pave the way for peace to foster local government’s development.

The Society further berated the State Government under the leadership of Ademola Adeleke’s slow response to the ongoing crisis in the Ifon, Ilobu, and Erin communities of the State, saying the efforts to resolve the crisis should be decisive and futuristic without any political undertone.

However, the Society urged the Government to seek advice from past administrations, the Royal Fathers, and all other stakeholders towards resolving the communal disturbance.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Oyedokun-Allí noted that the continued delay in the Teachers’ recruitment process in the State is a blemish on its Education sector, adding that most public school students passed through a short-staffed Education system

The group further lamented the continuous failure of the incumbent administration in the recruitment of manpower for the core sectors of the society, noting that this has slowed down the growth and development of the State at large.

TOM, however called on the Government to expedite actions on the recruitment of teachers and health workers to safeguard the future of the State.
