Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, flagged off the N16.5 billion dualisation of Ereja-Brewery Road in Ilesa on Tuesday with the affirmation that his administration would be more committed to delivering good governance without favouring any part of the state.
Speaking at Ipade Imole after the flagging-off exercise of the project in the town, the governor hinted that the project is billed to be completed within 12 months.
He said that his administration has not favoured any zone over another in project distribution since he became the state governor.
“I am committed totally to equality of treatment and fairness to all segments of the state. Our programmes and appointments are designed without favouritism, irrespective of which part of the state you hail from. The facts and figures are out there to prove that our government is for all and sundry.”
The governor remarked further that his administration has not borrowed a dime since it assumed the mantle of leadership in the state, saying it is committed to delivering good governance without favouring any part of the state.
“In all our governance activities so far, let it be known that we have never borrowed a kobo. This is in line with our pledge to govern within our available resources as we manage the huge liabilities we inherited from the previous government. If anybody tells you this administration has borrowed money, tell the person he is a liar.”
According to him, “The major plank of our policy design and implementation is continuity and expansion of inherited state assets. We have refused to abandon uncompleted projects inherited from the previous administration. We are not just completing such projects; we are expanding and adding value.”.
“within our available resources as we manage the huge liabilities we inherited from the previous government. If anybody tells you this administration has borrowed money, tell the person he is a liar.”
“Additionally, I ask us to ignore the false labelling of the intentions of this administration.”
“We want to restate our commitment to patronising local contractors in line with our policy of local content. The agenda is to boost the local economy, as noted in our five-point agenda. We are convinced that Osun money should revolve within the Osun economy, he concluded.
