Imeko Monarch Urges Federal Institutions for Development
Oba Benjamin Alabi Olanite, the Onimeko of Imeko in Ogun State, has called on President Bola Tinubu to enhance federal government presence in the town by establishing educational and health institutions. He specifically requested the creation of a training school for the Nigeria Customs Service or Nigeria Immigration Service, citing Imeko's historical role in Nigeria's border administration.
The monarch lamented the town's backwardness despite its significance and urged the government to utilize its strategic location. He also requested the establishment of a Federal Medical Centre and improved infrastructure.
Olanite praised the ongoing Sokoto-Badagry Circular Road project, which he believes will boost economic opportunities in Imeko. Additionally, he raised concerns about educational challenges in the area, commending the Ogun State Government under Governor Dapo Abiodun for addressing teacher shortages.
He recalled a summit organized by former Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun that highlighted the poor state of education in Imeko.
