Residents of Iron Orolu in Orolu Local Government Area of Osun State have appealed to the State Government to release the White Paper on the report of the 100-man Committee on the Ifon/Ilobu boundary dispute resolution.
In a statement signed by the National Executive and Board of Trustees of the Ifon-Orolu Progressive Union, the residents said the release of the White Paper would promote public confidence, transparency, accountability, policy guidance, and stakeholder engagement toward a lasting resolution of communal clashes.
They noted that since the submission of the committee’s report to the State Government several months ago, the community has not received any official information, a situation they said has raised concerns among residents.
