As the sun sets on 2023, the Justice, Development, and Peace Movement (JDPM) of the Catholic Diocese of Oyo, is poised to host its much-anticipated 2023 Annual Farmers’ Forum. Purposed to revolutionise the agribusiness landscape with a focus on innovation, expertise, and economic empowerment, this year’s Annual Farmers’ Forum is themed “Towards Effective Proficiency in Agribusiness”. The forum is organised by the Rural Development Programme (RUDEP), a pivotal department under JDPM, which serves as the social arm of the Catholic Diocese of Oyo. Set to unfold on December 14, 2023, at the JDPM office, opposite Ajiga filling station, Mabolaje road, Oyo town, the event promises a congregation of farmers, agriculturists, agricultural enthusiasts, stakeholders, and others alike. A release from the JDPM office, jointly signed by the Programme Manager of RUDEP, Anthony Ogunnupebi, and the Chairman of the Planning Committee, Aseyori Adeniyi, revealed the grand aspirations of this year’s forum. The overarching goal of the occasion is to bridge the gap between stakeholders in the agriculture sector and hardworking farmers by creating a platform for the exchange of knowledge, showcasing agricultural produce and innovations, and disseminating pertinent information on agribusiness. With the theme “Towards Effective Proficiency in Agribusiness”, the forum underscores the importance of honing skills and embracing modern methodologies to bolster agricultural and economic development. It further serves as a nexus for fostering collaboration, encouraging dialogue, and ultimately contributing to the imperative of ensuring food security. As the curtains rise on this agricultural spectacle, it beckons participants to immerse themselves in a day brimming with insights, advancements, and opportunities, cultivating a harvest of progress and prosperity for the agricultural community in Oyo State. Justice, Development and Peace Movement (JDPM) of the Catholic Diocese of Oyo is a faith-based, non-profit and non-governmental organisation, which was established to cater for all people, with emphasis on the poor and the vulnerable, irrespective of religion, race, age or gender.

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has urged security agencies to remain neutral and professional in the unfolding political climate, stressing that Osun, home state of President Bola Tinubu must not be turned into a political battleground.

The Governor made the call during the decoration ceremony of his Aide-De-Camp (ADC), Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Ahmed Bio Abdulraman, held at the Government House, Osogbo.

According to a statement by his spokesperson, Malam Olawale Rasheed, the event was attended by the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Ibrahim Gotan; State Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Igbalawole Sotiyo; Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Commander, Leye Adegboyega; and other service chiefs.

Governor Adeleke commended the Nigeria Police Force for its professionalism, praising the Inspector General of Police and the Osun Command for their discipline and adherence to due process. He particularly lauded Commissioner Gotan’s leadership style, which, he noted, has promoted peace and order across the state.

While acknowledging the synergy among security agencies in Osun, Adeleke charged them to uphold neutrality in political activities.

“We should continue to maintain a level playing field. This is the home state of Mr. President. Mr. President belongs to all of us. Osun should not be turned into a battleground,” he stressed.

On the celebrant, Adeleke expressed joy over DSP Abdulraman’s promotion, describing him as an exemplary officer whose loyalty and discipline embody the values of the Nigeria Police. He noted that the Force remains a vital institution for Nigeria’s growth and stability.

He further highlighted the sacrifices of security operatives nationwide, describing the Nigeria Police as a “blessed organisation” deserving of the appreciation of both government and citizens.

In his goodwill message, CP Gotan congratulated DSP Abdulraman on his promotion, reminding him that elevation comes with added responsibilities. He urged the officer to remain committed to discipline, professionalism, and the highest ideals of policing.

Gotan assured the Governor of the command’s readiness to sustain peace and order in the state, noting that government support has been instrumental to their operations.

He also encouraged officers across Osun to emulate Abdulraman’s dedication, describing him as a role model within the Force.
