The Aare of Ago-Are, Oba Abodunrin Kofoworola has said that the recent relocation of the Ago-Are Cattle Market was approved by Oyo State Government.
Oba Kofoworola said stakeholders’ decision to relocate the market was in line with the letter sent by the Atisbo South Local Council Development Area caretaker chairman to the commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development on October 16, 2017, referenced ATSSLCDA/86/T1/1.
The monarch said the ministry, in a letter dated 6th November, 2017 and signed by Dr Ibitoye M.M on behalf of the commissioner with reference number VD 851/4, granted approval of the relocation.
He said, “The news of the approval was greeted with joy by all stakeholders save for those at the helms of affairs at the council level who were supposed to implement the order. There is another letter dated 3rd June, 2020 referenced VD 851/11 and signed by P.A Adegunwa for the commissioner, requesting the immediate relocation of the market. Then what government order do we act against if I may ask the publisher of that falsehood?”
