An Osun based Civil Society, The Osun Masterminds (TOM), has called on the state government to review the work done on public infrastructure to reduce loss of lives as a result of the imminent rainy season.

The society made this known through its Executive Director, Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, at the March edition of the State of the State address.

Commending the State Executive Council for visiting some of the areas affected by the weekend rainstorm, Oyedokun-Alli urged the government to implement a master plan for the state, emphasizing that such a plan is necessary to ensure residents do not build in ways that conflict with the state’s geographical realities.

Recall, Redio Afinju had earlier reported that a violent windy rain ravaged Osogbo, the Osun State capital over the weekend, leaving residents and businesses counting high losses

He cautioned against politicising the incidents, noting that such a period calls for coordinated action to safeguard lives and property rather than political narratives.

In preparation for the rainy season, the society has called for the clearing of waterways to prevent flash flooding across many parts of the state, urging the government to compile a comprehensive list of affected victims with a view to providing necessary support.

The society also sympathized with victims of the unfortunate incident and offered prayers for divine restoration of all that was lost.

Speaking on the poor state of electricity supply in the country, Oyedokun-Alli called on President Bola Tinubu to take decisive action on the power sector.

The Executive Director expressed concern that the current Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, appears comfortable despite the persistent epileptic power supply, saying that the situation continues to negatively impact the daily lives of citizens.
