The Ogun State House of Assembly has directed the management of the Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, to produce supporting documents of ventures run by the institution.

The Chairman, House Committee on Finance and Appropriation, Musefiu Lamidi, gave the directive on Wednesday in Abeokuta during the ongoing 2025 budget defence of ministries, departments and agencies of government.

Mr Lamidi, who expressed disappointment over the non-capturing of the institution’s ventures in the 2025 budget proposal, noted that it was important to probe the development.

The committee chairman, in company with other lawmakers, asked the institution to produce supporting documents on the leasing of the institution’s petrol station, bakery and other ventures.

He said, “The committee is interested in probing MAPOLY ventures and you need to give a supporting document to the petrol station, the contractor, with terms and conditions. We want to know why you have not been including the ventures in your documents. We give you till 2:00 p.m. on Thursday to submit the documents. Failure to do this will affect your budget for 2025.’’

Mr Lamidi said that it was important to block revenue leakages, adding that the government needed more money to execute projects for the overall development of the state.

The MAPOLY team was led by the rector, Babatunde Jolaoso.
