3.0   CHIEFTAINCY AFFAIRS SINCE 2005

Before the inception of the Otunba Gbenga Daniel led administration on May 29, 2003, the welfare package put in place by the preceding administration was very poor and far below the status of Oba.  More worrisome was the fact that some Obas were owed up to 18 months arrears of salaries and allowances.  Besides, there were no incentives put in place for Obas.

In recognition of the valuable role that Traditional Rulers play in governance, especially in the area of maintenance of peace and order and dissemination of valuable information to grassroot people, the Otunba Gbenga Daniel led Administration released an enhanced welfare package for Traditional rulers in the State.  This comprised of the following:

(i)     Upward review of the salaries and allowances and stipends of Obas, Baales and Stipendiary Chiefs in the State.  This was done twice between    29^th May, 2003 and January, 2004;

(ii)    Payment of Car Refurbishing grant to all the Obas in the State in Year 2003 while the Paramount Rulers were given Peugeot 607 Saloon Cars.  Subsequently, newly installed Obas are beneficiaries of the said grant;

(iii)   Payment of severance allowance to the family and Council of Chiefs of demised Oba to cushion the effect of the loss on the affected family and as contribution towards the burial rites of the departed Oba;
