Governor Seyi Makinde is leaving lasting legacies to ensure the functioning of government institutions for long-term developmental operations.
This information was disclosed to the management of Melody 100.7FM, a new radio station in Ibadan, by Prince Dotun Oyelade, the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, during a live broadcast in his office.
Prince Oyelade said “the focus of the Seyi Makinde administration in the last five years is to empower and entrench government Institutions such that they will be more powerful than those who established them in the first place.
“Institutions such as the Oyo State Anti-corruption Agency (OYACA), the Oyo State Mobilization Agency for Socio-economic Development (OYMASED), the Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority including those already in existence are being consolidated to play big roles in an efficient bureaucracy.
“The unequalled employment of over 23,000 Youths, apart from serving to lower the unemployment rate in the State, is actually a strategy deployed by the Seyi Makinde administration to booster a robust succession plan for the ageing civil service in order to actualise the aims and objectives of the State road map for sustainable development agenda 2023 to 2027.
The Commissioner also said “the promotion of 45 new permanent secretaries is also a strategy to strengthen and consolidate the State’s Developmental Agenda.
Mr. Eniola Afolabi, general manager of Melody 100.7FM, stated that he is open to working in tandem with the Oyo State Government to advance professional sanity in the community.
E-signed: The Honorable Commissioner for Information and Orientation of Oyo State, Prince Dotun Oyelade, January 9, 2025.
