    OSOPADEC Bursary is our entitlement in Ilaje and Ese Odo Local Governments, the only Oil Producing local governments in Yoruba land as a whole. If Owoh, local government of Akeredolu does not produce oil , it is by natural configuration. I don’t see any reason the governor should jealous the people of Ilaje primarily and Ese Odo as well. OSOPADEC Bursary is not what any inane government or governor can embezzle or divert to their own personal account. We; the students will sue them the governor. Thank you.
