Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa said at the distribution centre in Akure, Ondo’s capital, that the aim was to mitigate the country’s escalating food prices.
“It is a known fact that Ondo State is now a force to reckon with in the education sector.”
He acknowledged the deep sorrow felt by many for the departed former governor.
“He succumbed to complications arising from protracted prostate cancer.”
“And anyone caught not resigning will face the penalty for that because he or she would be seen as flouting the rules of engagement.”
He said the committee was expected to interface with all contending people in the state.
The notice was signed by 11 members out of 26 members of the State House of Assembly.
The union pledged its support for Mr Akeredolu’s administration and its faith in his ability to navigate challenging times.
The state government also announced Sept. 12 as the date for commencement of the distribution of the food items to beneficiaries.
“The HoS should not cause avoidable industrial unrest in Ondo State. We wish Mr Ogundele is called to order immediately,” he added.
