Ogun State House of Assembly has conducted a stakeholders' forum on house bill No 44/ OG/ 2020- A bill for a law to provide for the registration of Community Development Associations (CDAs) and for other matters.
At the forum, stakeholders called for the upward review of financial grant being given to Community Development Associations to enable them improve on the various intervention community projects for the benefit of grassroot people.
The stakeholders, who spoke including the Transition Chairman, Abeokuta North Local Government Council, Prince Tunde Tella, Community Development Officer, Moshood Adebowale and representatives of the various Community Development Associations across the State, among others proposed that registration of CDAs should be under the purview of Local Government Councils, while canvassing for three years tenure of office for CDA executive members to enable them complete their projects.
