Ondo state governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has asked communities in the state to summit memoranda for the creation of Local Government Development Areas (LCDAs).

The committee, the governor said, would accept memoranda from communities seeking Local Governments or LCDAs.
He thanked the people of the town and its environs for the support for the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the just concluded House of Assembly election and asked the people to support the government so that more development projects would be executed in the area.
