To stop further encroachment on its vast land, the Kwara State House of Assembly on Wednesday urged the Kwara State governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to approve fund for the construction of perimeter fencing of Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin.
The house arrived at this resolution after considering the report of its
committee on public petition on the petitions titled “Save our Soul ” – Kwara State Polytechnic Encroachment on Communal Land and High-Handedness ” and “petition Against the Rector, Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin”.
The report was presented and laid on the floor of the house by the chairman of the committee, Hon. Lawal Ayansola Salihu, representing Malete/Ipaye/Oloru state constituency.
The house noted that the construction of perimeter fencing on the land of the institution will forestall further encroachment and curb the criminalities of the land grabbers and vandals alike.
The legislature also urged the concerned parties on the alleged land encroachment issue to maintain the status quo on the places where there are cases pending before the courts, “since it will be prejudicial for the House to intervene on any matter that is before any competent court of law in the land”.
It specifically urged members of the Budo Lima communities to allow peace to reign by tolerating the construction work at the TETFund project site to continue unhindered because its completion has duration.
It further urged the Kwara State Polytechnic management and members of the concerned communities to explore necessary diplomatic avenues for amicable resolution of areas of difference in line with the master plan of the Institution.
” Urged the Visitor to the Polytechnic, His Exellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, the Executive Governor of Kwara state, to approve fund for the management for the construction of perimeter fencing on the land of the institution as this will forestall further Encroachment and curb the criminalities of the land grabbers and vandals alike,” the report added.
The house advised, ” prospective buyers of any land that has close proximity to the Kwara State Polytechnic Ilorin to seek clearance from the relevant unit of Institution on any possible encumbrance, failure of which attracts forfeiture of the property.”
It urged Governor AbdulRazaq to direct the Ministry of Justice to facilitate a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on PPP arrangement between the management of the polytechnic and the owners of identified structures/building illegally built on the territory of the institution’s land on to boost its internal generated revenue (IGR).
The house equally urged, ” the Alanguas, Magajis, and concerned community leaders to report any new /upcoming structural development within the defined territory of the Kwara State Polytechnic to the Polytechnic authority.”
