Oyetola held a meeting with IPMAN officials led by the association’s Zonal Chairman, Alhaji Dele Tajudeen at Iragbiji, on Sunday.
The Governor assured the association that he would constitute a taskforce to look into the alleged extortion of its members by men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in the State and address the issue in the interest of the public.
Governor Oyetola also urged members of the public to remain calm and desist from panic buying.
Briefing journalists shortly after their meeting with the governor, the Zonal Chairman, Alhaji Dele Tajudeen commended Governor Oyetola for his excellent decision and prayed God to give him more wisdom to pilot the affairs of the State of Osun.
