There is no mercy in the creation and reconstruction of institutions to improve the economic and social life of the people of Osun.
“Even if others have limited visions for the future of Osun State, our administration is ambitious and forward-looking and believes there are no limits to the greatness Osun State can achieve as a state.”
“That is the spirit behind the five-point agenda. It is the driving force behind our excellent performance over the past two years,” he added.
