OGSWC SETS TO CLAMP DOWN ON ILLEGAL CONNECTIONS           Ogun State Water Corporation (OGSWC) has disclosed that a major crackdown is underway to address the illegalities perpetrated by some individuals who engage in illegal water connections, meter bypasses as well as unauthorised service lines.           This was made known by the Special Adviser on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Water Resources, Hon.

EGBETOKUN @ 59, STILL SOARING                 By: Udofia Elijah       write from L aderin, Abeokuta. Rt. Hon. Samson Tunji Egbetokun is a man who cannot be mistaken, even in a crowd.

One thing that no one can take away from this astute politician is that he has used his position and connections to inspire action, empower others, and focus on growth rather than personal glory. For a man who started his early career as Secretary to the Obafemi-Owode Local Government, Tunji Egbetokun climbed the political ladder to become the Senior Special Adviser to Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Po...
