Ogun Assembly To Probe MAPOLY Business Ventures

The Ogun Assembly has directed the management of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic (MAPOLY), Abeokuta, to produce supporting documents for all ventures run by the institution.

Mr Musefiu Lamidi, Chairman, House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, gave the directive on Wednesday in Abeokuta during the ongoing 2025 budget defence of Ministries Departments and Agencies (MDAs) of government.

Lamidi, who expressed disappointment over the non-capturing of the institution’s ventures in the 2025 budget proposal, noted that it was important to probe the development.

The committee chairman in the company of other lawmakers asked the institution to produce supporting documents on the leasing of the institution’s petrol station, bakery and other ventures.

“The committee is interested in probing all MAPOLY ventures and you need to give a supporting document to the petrol station, the contractor, with terms and conditions.

“We want to know why you have not been including the ventures in your documents.

“We give you till 2:00 p.m. on Thursday to submit the documents.

“Failure to do this will affect your budget for 2025,” he said.

Lamidi said that it was important to block revenue leakages, adding that the government needed more money to execute projects for the overall development of the state.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the MAPOLY team was led by the Rector, Dr Babatunde Jolaoso.
