- By Joseph Onyekwere

MEMBERS of Lagos State Parks Administra­tion ( LSPA) have lauded Governor Babajide Sanwo- Olu on the appointmen­t of Oniba Ekun of Iba Kingdom, Oba Sulaimon Adesina, as the caretaker committee chairman of LSPA.

They also expressed satisfacti­on over the administra­tion of Oba Adesina, saying it had boosted the welfare of members and brought sanity to their operations.

The LSPA workers, who spoke during a stakeholde­rs’ meeting in Akesan area of Lagos, noted that peace and harmony had been restored to the union after the dissolutio­n of the immediate past administra­tion of Alhaji Musa Muhammed.

In their presentati­on, the Zonal Chairman of Surulere, Alhaji Enilari Rauf and Zonal Chairman of Badagry Zone 2, Alhaji Adeyemi Arigbagunw­o, claimed that the past administra­tion overstayed in office, adding that it allegedly denied members access to proper welfare.

They also said that members of the union were shortchang­ed in the revenue distributi­on for the developmen­t of the associatio­n.

The members claimed that the past administra­tion was self- centered, especially in the area of outrageous levies, corruption, harassment by private security officials, which also led to frequent fracas around Surulere, Ojo, Iyana Iba and Lagos Island, among others.
