Rasak Oluwakemi Daddah and His Vision for Effective Representation in the Green Chamber

As the 2027 general elections draw closer, Hon. Rasak Oluwakemi Daddah has declared his intention to contest for a seat in the Federal House of Representatives, seeking to represent the good people of Ijebu Central Federal Constituency, comprising Ijebu-Ode, Odogbolu and Ijebu North-East (Atan).

An indigene of Ijebu, Daddah has built a reputation around his interest in public service and governance. His aspiration to serve in the Green Chamber, according to him is driven by a desire to contribute to the development of his constituency and advance the cause of good governance.

Daddah’s interest in leadership dates back several years. His  political journey has included service as Chairman of Ijebu-Ode Local  Government, as well as other public offices in which he has served. These experiences have strengthened his understanding of grassroots administration and reinforced his commitment to public service.

His decision to seek election to the House of Representatives is also rooted in his longstanding involvement in politics and his belief that effective representation requires a strong connection with the people at the grassroots.

Hon. Rasak Daddah has called for an opportunity to serve, urging constituents to give him the chance to demonstrate what he can contribute to the development of the constituency.

His campaign is anchored on a promise to pursue initiatives that will advance the interests of the people and attract what he describes as the dividends of democracy to the constituency.

As the political activities ahead of the 2027 elections gather momentum, Daddah is seeking the support of the people of Ijebu Central Federal Constituency as he pursues his ambition of representing them in the Green Chamber.

Odogbolu Local Government Chairman, Hon. (Dr.) Babatunde Oyetola Diya has commissioned a new sports arena and other projects as his administration marks 22 months in office. 

The projects were commissioned on Friday, September 17, 2026, at the Odogbolu Sports Arena, along Federal Government College Road, Odogbolu, Ogun State.

The commissioning ceremony attracted traditional rulers, community leaders,  political leaders,  government officials and other stakeholders, including several All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains.

Among those present were Hon. Olufemi Ogunbanwo, Member representing Ijebu Central Federal Constituency; Hon. Lukman Adeleye, Member of the Ogun State House of Assembly; Hon. Arole Azeez Bello, Special Adviser to the Governor on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs; Hon. Remi Hassan; Hon. Atinuke Bello; and Hon. Adebowale Ojuri, former members of the State House of Assembly.

Also in attendance were traditional rulers from Odogbolu Local Government Area; the Vice Chairman of the council, Hon. Princess Olusola Adeyinka; Secretary to the Local Government, Deacon Stanley Oluogun; and APC Chairman in Odogbolu Local Government, Hon. Muyiwa Idowu.

Other dignitaries included Hon. Ireti Adenuga; Hon. Mrs. Aderonke Carew, popularly known as Mama Rontex; Hon. Tunde Adesoye; Alhaji Idris Lawal; Alhaji Mole Mole; Engr. Mrs. Adenike Ogunlowo; Hon. Femi Adesanya; and other party leaders and stakeholders.

Speaking at the ceremony, Diya said the commissioning provided an opportunity for his administration to account for its stewardship in the last 22 months rather than make fresh promises.

He said the administration had completed over 35 projects within 22 months as part of its second phase of development initiatives, with projects cutting across infrastructure, sports, education, healthcare, water supply, commerce and the modernisation of local government administration.

The chairman described the newly commissioned Odogbolu Sports Arena as a facility designed to discover and nurture sporting talents, engage young people productively and promote sports tourism in the local government area.

According to him, the administration also renovated the Chairman’s Office, ante-room and Conference Room at the Local Government Secretariat, while the Legislative Chamber was reconstructed and remodelled.

Diya said a solar-inverter renewable energy system had also been installed at the Secretariat, alongside two additional electrical lines and three prepaid meters.

He added that the Local Government Education Authority office was refurbished, with a borehole and six-unit toilet facility provided. On security and public infrastructure, the chairman disclosed that 437 solar-powered street lights, supported by 429 pipes, had been installed across the 15 wards of the local government.

He said the administration had also provided solar-powered boreholes in Iperin, Imodi, Ibefun, Abatiwa, Emuren, Igbile, Jobore, Ibido-Ogbo and Ataba communities. 

In the health sector, Diya said materials and equipment had been procured for Primary Health Centres, while 500 vulnerable residents had been enrolled in the “Iwosan Tunde” informal health insurance scheme.

The remarks formed part of the goodwill messages delivered at the commissioning ceremony, which brought together  political leaders, traditional rulers, community stakeholders and residents.

In his closing remarks, Babatunde Diya appreciated the political leaders, traditional rulers, legislators, career officers, appointees and residents for their support.

He urged residents to take ownership of the newly commissioned projects, particularly by protecting the facilities from vandalism and ensuring their effective utilisation.

“These projects belong to you,” the chairman said, adding that the commissioning marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another phase of development in Odogbolu.

UCH Allied Health Workers Begin Indefinite Strike Over Unresolved Demands

UCH Allied Health Workers Begin Indefinite Strike Over Unresolved Demands

The Nigerian Union of Allied Health Professionals, University College Hospital, Ibadan chapter, has commenced an indefinite strike over the alleged refusal of the hospital management to implement the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s recommendation on the disciplinary case involving the Director of Pharmaceutical Services, Adeyinka Ishola.

The union announced the industrial action in a letter to its members at the hospital, saying it would commence on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, following what it described as the failure of several efforts to resolve the dispute.

The dispute centres on the sale of a tricycle donated to the Pharmacy Department and the subsequent disciplinary action taken against Ishola.

NUAHP represents 13 of the 15 categories of allied health professionals at the hospital.

The NUAHP Chairman, Oladayo Olabampe, said the union was demanding the implementation of the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s recommendation that Ishola be reprimanded and reinstated.

Olabampe said an initial investigation conducted by the hospital had recommended that Ishola be suspended, with the recommendation forwarded to the ministry for ratification.

He said the ministry subsequently sent an independent investigative team to the hospital, which reached a different conclusion.

“The ministry, in its wisdom, sent a team of investigators to UCH to conduct an independent investigation. The panel found Dr Ishola not guilty of any fraudulent act but only guilty of not carrying the management along in the sale of the tricycle,” he said.

He added, “Rather than approving the dismissal recommended by UCH, the ministry, after a thorough investigation, recommended that the director be reprimanded and then reinstated.”

The union chairman accused the hospital management of refusing to implement the recommendation despite the ministry being its supervisory authority.

“We are, however, surprised that the UCH management is not pleased with this outcome and has, for months, refused to implement the verdict of its supervisory ministry,” Olabampe said.

He said the union disagreed with the position of the hospital management that the ministry’s decision was not final.

“We hold a contrary view to that of the management of UCH, which believes that the verdict of the ministry is not final,” he said.

Defending Ishola, Olabampe said the union did not believe that the sale of the tricycle amounted to fraud.

“We hereby declare that Dr Adeyinka Ishola is not a thief, though he might have committed an administrative error by not carrying the management along. Since the ministry has decided that he be reprimanded, we stand by this decision,” he said.

The NUAHP chairman said the union had exhausted its attempts to resolve the matter through dialogue.

“Having dialogued with the management on several occasions to no avail, we have hereby resolved to declare a trade dispute over this matter.

“After two series of ultimatums, we have decided to mobilise our members for an indefinite strike with effect from Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The strike shall continue until our demands are met,” Olabampe added.

Ishola was removed from office more than a year ago following an allegation that he sold the tricycle without the knowledge of the UCH management.

The tricycle was reportedly donated by a pharmaceutical company.

Ishola was said to have told the hospital’s investigative panel that the item was initially a personal gift to him from the company, which he subsequently handed over to the Pharmacy Department.

He reportedly challenged the panel to seek clarification from the donor company on the circumstances surrounding the donation.
