 BY KOLADE LAREWAJU

ABEOKUTA –  GOVERNOR Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State yesterday announced the setting up of a Truth Commission to look into the cases of the killings in the last administration just as he declared that the government would soon set up visitation panels to tertiary institutions in the state to ascertain the state of affairs in the institutions.

Equally, he said the State Executive Council approved the award of 28 road construction contracts across the three senatorial districts of the state.

Amosun in his address at an interactive session with a cross section of the society at the June 12 Cultural Centre in Abeokuta, lamented the decay in education in the state, saying efforts were already on to solve the problem.

He said:, “You will recall that during the campaigns, we promised that we would not allow the plight of our compatriots who lost their lives, properties or were brutalised and made to suffer different forms of brutality to pass away without appropriate measures to seek redress or, at least, investigate what happened.

To fulfil that promise, we have set up a five-member body to be known as the Ogun State Truth Commission.”
