The President of Gbenga Akinwade Foundation, Engr Gbenga Akinwande, has appealed to Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, on the need to boost the local economies of areas affected by the temporary border closure in Ogun West Senatorial District. He said businesses of residents in the border areas have haphazardly affected by the closure, which according to him have thrown them into abject poverty. Akinwande noted that the non-availability of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) or unaffordable fuel cost, in some towns in the senatorial district have paralysed legitimate social and economic activities. Akinwande said the results of the last governorship election in the State demonstrated the failure of leadership in the senatorial district. According to Akinwande, there is a need for unity in the senatorial district now more than ever.
