Ogun to conduct human development index survey
The Ogun State Government is to conduct household surveys to develop a framework that will assist in planning, management and evaluating the effects of its policies on the citizens of the state..
E-services Nigeria
Limited, a consulting firm, has been contracted by the state government to
carry out the survey for a 27-week period.
"In the past five
years, under the pillar of infrastructure, the administration of Prince Dapo
Abiodun, governor of the stste, has brought development to every ward in the 20
local government areas of the state, Olabimtan sad. ‘‘We have constructed,
reconstructed, and rehabilitated over 500 kilometers of roads across all
regions in the state in line with the administration’s policy of inclusiveness
and determination to abolish erstwhile practices of developing one section of
the state at the expense of the other.
He said the
administration has installed over 500 transformers across communities through
its community electrification project and has improved power supply in the 20
local government areas.
The administration has
also rehabilitated the Arakanga Waterworks in Abeokuta to ensure a reliable
supply of potable. "We are currently at the planning stage of expanding
the reticulation network into new areas within the state while rehabilitating
all our mini water works in other parts of the state for improved water supply
for our people.
Olabimtan said the
state is leading the pack in energy transition as ‘‘we are on record as the
first state to deploy Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses in Nigeria and have
deployed them in Abeokuta and Mowe/Ibafo to Lagos routes with the aim to
cushion the effects of transport fares for our citizens.’’
He said education and
human capital development remain key priorities of the government with the
renovation and construction of over 1,200 classrooms and buildings across all
234 wards in the state,
