Directors of Local Government Administration in their respective
council areas.
Also, the House unanimous expressed its displeasure over the
continued closure of the state owned university, Adekunle Ajasin
University, Akungba-Akoko for over four months.
The House Majority Leader, Olusegun Araoyinbo, who moved the
motion and seconded by Mr Deji Iroju, said that the university
Vice-Chancellor, the Governing Council chairman be summoned to
explain reasons for the closure.

standard of education which the state has been maintaining over the
years.
Oloyelogun said that Ondo remains one of the states with high
level of education standard in the country, adding we will continue
with the legacy.
