Ademuyiwa Adeyemi under Personal Explanation at a plenary held at the Assembly Complex, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta calling for holistic collaboration among all government’s agencies in enforcing the covid 19 protocol in the State.

Responding, Speaker Oluomo said the present administration remained responsive to the yearnings of the people, expressing that more projects would still be delivered to all parts of the State.
