Ondo govt raises concerns over state assets in private hands

The Ondo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Dr Olukayode Ajulo, has raised concerns over the continued retention of state assets in the hands of former political office holders.

Ajulo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), in a statement on Friday in Akure, said “one year after the untimely passing of former Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, a significant portion of the state’s assets has been unlawfully transferred into private hands.

“We denounce this as completely unacceptable and we are calling for a united stand against the misappropriation of public resources.

“During a candid review of the past year under Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, and as a Attorney General, I must say, this is wrong; we cannot continue on this path.
