Speaking at the handing-over of the plan to the benefiting communities in Abeokuta, the Special Adviser and Managing Director, OPIC, Arc. Abiodun Fari-Arole said the move would prevent further encroachment by land grabbers known as ‘Omo Onile’ on State government land, as well as preserve its assets.
