Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has vowed to ensure that all ongoing projects by his administration are completed before the end of his first term in office.
Naija News reports that Adeleke declared this in his address on Wednesday to commemorate the second anniversary of his administration.
While reiterating that his administration has not secured any loans to fund its projects and initiatives throughout the state, Adeleke said his focus has been on eliminating financial leakages and utilizing local resources to manage project expenses while ensuring high-quality standards.
Governor Adeleke emphasized that he has treated all inherited projects equitably and has not dismissed any contractors appointed by his predecessor, highlighting his commitment to an open and transparent governance approach.
He said, “I want our people to note for the record that for all our projects and programmes, we did not obtain any loan. We only block leakages in the state finance and employ local content to moderate project cost and enforce high standards.
“We never discriminated on inherited projects and we never sacked any contractors engaged by our predecessor. We run an open, transparent government.
“For the second half of our government, I reassure all sons and daughters of Osun State that the government under my leadership will complete all ongoing projects. We will continue to address the infra and social needs of our people. We will strike a balance between hard and soft infrastructure.
“Going forward, we will deepen our consultation and interactive mechanism with the citizenry. As we have acted only in public interest in the last two years, we will sustain our responsiveness and respect for the wills and aspirations of our people.
“Therefore, I invite you to join me as we commence the anniversary with town hall meetings and commissioning of projects and programmes.”
Reeling out his scorecard in the past two years, the Osun State governor recalled that he embarked on reviving the state and delivering on good governance.
He said: “My administration launched out with a five-point agenda. We targeted specific areas of needs of the people which form the major components of the clearly defined agenda.
“The goal principally was to address the aspirations and immediate needs of our people.
“In line with norms of accountability and responsibility to the electorate, I am obligated to render my stewardship midway into the life of our administration.
“It is, therefore, with praises to God Almighty and the universe that I address you on major advances our administration has already recorded across the sectors.”
