Your leadership has undoubtedly changed the narrative of governance in Oyo State.

“Among your laudable accomplishments was the completion of over 335 kilometers of roads, with an additional 273 kilometers under construction, enhancing connectivity and boosting economic activities.

“Equally, on social welfare, you deserve a compensation on the regular payment of workers’ salaries, including a 13th-month salary for five consecutive years, and increased monthly allocation for gratuities, easing the burden on retirees.

“You have also strengthened the security architecture of the state with the establishment and expansion of the Oyo Amotekun Corps, strengthening community-based security and contributing to a safer environment.

“Likewise in education, over 19,500 primary and secondary school teachers (90% merit-based) were employed, and sole ownership of Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH), ensuring better management and development is commendable.

“However, in healthcare, you deserve appraisal for the Renovation and equipment of numerous Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs), recruitment of essential healthcare staff, and establishment of oxygen plants in key hospitals.

As you mark this important milestone, may your tenure continue to usher in greater peace, prosperity, and progress for our dear state and the nation at large. I pray that God grants you more wisdom, strength, and grace to continue serving with distinction.”
