He noted that his administration was poised on a 5-point agenda, which encapsulates workers’ welfare, boosting businesses, and reviving the State economy, through the introduction of policies that would boost the State’s GDP.
He revealed that his government recognized local suppliers and was looking for means to expand the local economy by avoiding the exportation of contracts and services from outside the State.
The only exception, he noted, was if there were no capable hands in the state to carry out the job.
“There must be a collaborative effort to reform education, health, agriculture, and people’s welfare.
“Osun is blessed with resources that can be used to create wealth for the people.
“I want you to know that this is our State and we must do everything possible to develop it. This State is blessed with resources which, if well managed, can improve our economy and at the same time, create wealth for all and sundry.
“I want to talk and share with you principles of unity to achieve collective success.
“Please, avoid infighting and you must work together as a team to achieve the desired goals. Political appointees and Permanent Secretaries must work within the public service rules,” he said.
