AGBOR/Nigeria: Chairman Ika South Local Government Council, Delta State, Hon. Fred Ofume has strongly supported the autonomy of Local Government administration and its restructuring in order to correct the anomalies in the system despite Nigerians will alleged that it is an avenue for the council government to make money for themselves.
Ofume disclosed this in Agbor when members of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria (ACNPN) paid him a courtesy visit in his office.
He underscored the importance of information in any society and charged members of the Association to be objective in their reportage and always cross check their facts before publishing.
Fred Ofume commended ACNPN for the visit and enjoined them to give adequate publicity to the programs and policies of Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa SMART Agenda.
He also emphasized that people lost hope in the leadership of the council because they failed in the responsibility to provide social amenities for the people.
Today Fred Ofume has changed the mindsets of the people by providing those amenities needed by the people.
This was successful because the people are seeing the dividend of their money from the revenue drive.
