"C/O before was what people see as a difficult thing but it is your right, is shows you are the owner of a property and you can use the C/O to get loan from any right quarter"- Oyo State Commissioner for Land, Housing and Survey, Hon. Issac Ajiboye Omodewu.

Part two of our interview with the Oyo State Commissioner for Land, Housing and Survey, Honourable Isaac Ajiboye Omodewu:-

Sir, on the issue of C/O what have you to say about it?
The issue of C/O should not be a problem, before people believe that you cannot get your C/O within couple of years but now in Oyo State you can get your C/O within sixty days, with a new programme everything is now computerized, the reason why it is sixty days is that we have to make a publication for thirty days and the remaining three or four weeks is for processing, so C/O before was what people see as a difficult thing but it is your right , it shows you are the owner of a property and you can use the C/O to get loan from any right quarter, so that it is and to key the people into the programme we try to make sure we help them and appeal to them that it s a thing they can get within the shortest time, again we discovered that many people have houses in which they live but with no right document to back their ownership up so how are we going to help them because mostly people believe you can only get C/O on land but now if you have a property and living in that property you can get your C/O, so what we tried to do was that we introduced a programme we called HOME-OWNER-CHARTER at-least somebody who has already got his property and lives inside, so just with small amount of money; One hundred and twenty-five thousand {125.000}from which five thousand is for the form and one hundred and twenty thousand is for the processing , this money includes the survey, as we do the survey for the person and the plan according to what you have on ground, the only clause that is there is this; if you built the property on an illegal area or under the tension-wire or very close to the new road we are not going to give you the C/O for that, but if it is properly build where it is supposed to be built, within sixty days you are going to get your C/O, so HOME-OWNER-CHARTER and C/O ARE in the same group, we just name that programme HOME-OWNER-CHARTER  for those people who are already living in their property being built, so this is a way to encourage our people and this will help us a lot, for instance again we are doing the enumeration of properties in Oyo State, what do we men by that; we want to know how many properties we have in Oyo State, which ones are commercial, which ones are private, what is the purpose of this; it is to be used for MDA'S, Security etc, to determine which areas needed police-station, for ministry of health, where do we need health centres, hospitals, and it is good for town planning section , all this is for the planning purpose and this we have given the contract out to the Nigerian Institute of Estate Surveyors, they are the ones doing the enumeration for us, recently we flew an aircraft as low as possible , as as to determine the size of the land we have in Oyo State.
 So, we take note of all the major cities; Ibadan, Oyo township, Ogbomoso, Iseyin, Saki and Ibarapa area, why because we are doing what we call master-plan, the master-plan is now for Ibadan, it is one after the other, so all these aircrafts we flown is to let us see what is the size of the land in Ibadan, Oyo, Ogbomoso, Saki, Iseyin, Ibarapa, this is the foundation of development, take Lagos for example, as one of the best state it has passed through this stage before, this was not in place when we came in so that is the reason why we needed somebody who knows where they started, where they are and where they are going, to be the next governor, it is not easy for somebody from outside to say he can do this well, as private sector is different from governance, for somebody like me I have been in the government for the past seven good years continuously , couple with my years of both local and international experience, with the level of my education, I believe I can take over from Governorb Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi because those are the requirement to move Oyo State forward and if you want to move Oyo State forward you must be bold, determined and courageous hence Governor Ajimobi with these qualities had been able to achieve much more than all the previous governors, because without these qualities people wouldn't have allowed him to achieve thus far and this is why I'm appealing to my people in Oyo State to allow what is called continuity through me come 2019 election as Governor of Oyo State.

                                    PART-TWO OF THIS INTERVIEW COMING SOON!!!
 

"Governor Isiaq Abiola Ajimobi's love for the creativity of an indigenous but any hardworking professional knows no bound"- Dr. Adeyinka Olatunji; Mosco the Tailor.

To cite a verse in the bible which says "Seeth a man diligent in his piece of work he will stand before Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses and not just before Ordinary men", and in the affirmation to this beautiful scriptural expression ; permit we unwind on the recent interview we had with a professional tailor; Dr. Adeyinka Olatunji commonly known as "Mosco the Tailor, with his shop around Oke Ado in Ibadan Oyo State, who is a very dexterous, humble, courteous ,experienced, native-intelligently knowledgeable and multifaceted, yet blessed with wisdom about life , with his penchant for truth, is a man that could be mistaken for a practicing alfa.
This professional tailor; Dr. Adeyinka Olatunji was born to Late/ Alhaji Lasisi Ida Olatunji and Mrs Falilatu Yinyinola in 1966 at Idi-Arere in Ibadan, Oyo State. And being a child from a polygamous family but very promising he had his primary school experience to the detail, while afterwards opted for tailoring, with the zeal and determination to excel in the profession of his choice; tailoring, he learnt to know how to sew all kinds of dressings both for male, female, young, old, English-type and the native, with much commitment, prayerful life and good human relation he started having his own avid customers, who prefer having their clothing sew by him .
 Meanwhile, his apprenticeship which he had in 1979 led to his gaining freedom, and being on his own in 1985 and with a single sewing-machine he started serving his numerous customers, both literate and illiterate, rich and poor, privileged and less-privileged, until a period when one of his customers; a driver to a big company then brought his son's clothing to him , for sewing precisely to be made into a young-child suit, which he creatively did a good job on it and this caught the fancy of the boss to the driver, one way or the other and that was how great-luck shined and struck on him; Dr.Adeyinka Olatunji then and he was thereby endeared to the heart of the driver's boss; Chief Osideko, who Moscow started sewing for, and Chief Osideko put him on contract annually, to be sewing some large consignment of his company's staff uniforms, from which with more rapport, love and understanding between Moscow; the tailor and his God-sent helper; Chief Osideko he started making it financially big, considerably in comparison to the how and where he started and yet he came across another distinguished customer; Chief Ayininuola; an overall director to Wema Banks Plc then, as introduced by Chief Osideko to Chief Ayinninuola his luck gradually and encouragingly expanding for good, as he got more clients (customers) like Chief Olu Obagun who he was also introduced to by Chief Osideko, to the extent of having Alaafin Iku Baba Yeye Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, as one of his presently active customers, among his many on his list, yet his tailoring profession so also had given him the opportunity to travel overseas.
While responding to the impact of prayer to his line of occupation and activities, as a professional tailor of much experience, connection and achievement; he emphatically made us realized that prayer as an essential means of communication with God is the secrecy to any breakthrough in life, and any line, which without it nothing is achievable, buttressing up his point that "If God Almighty buildeth not; those that build are doing it in vain", hence he abides by prayer, with humility and good human relation, which had seen him breaking-through to his present state of proficiency, prosperity, popularity, prominence and connection, though he defended by advocating on truth as an essential quality, aside prayer and good human relation, if life should be made to  be of a complete-experience regarding worthwhile success, in whatever pursuit anybody might have singled himself/herself out.
 However,  "Mosco-the Tailor" as Dr Adeyinka Olatunji as he's often being called, by many of his admirers and customers, is a dexterous tailor of long and much experience, very multifaceted, but a self-effacing fashion-designer, very closed to our Amiable Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State, as his regular tailor, by whose 'Midas-touch and the golden fingers; have been the expert, behind the different but fitting and splendidly made native garbs, often being put on by Our Amiable Governor Abiola Ajimobi to many of his official outings, including his usual native garbs for the office work, by the way, Mosco came across the governor through the governor's brother; Toyin Ajimobi who after much reliance and good work for him was invited by the governor,s wife; Chief/Mrs Florence Ajimobi, who eventually gave some stuffs of textile-material to sew for her husband and eventually that was how the age-long deals; serving as the governor's tailor started till date.
