There was no mistaking the joy and fulfilment on the face of Prince Dapo Abiodun, the executive governor of Ogun State, as he presented earlier today a compendium of his achievements to President Muhammadu Buhari at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja.
President Buhari excitedly flipped through the colourful pages of the photo book as he commended the governor for a job well done. On his social media pages, Governor Abiodun said, “I presented to President Buhari a photo documentary detailing the achievements of our administration in 52weeks in Ogun State. His Excellency will have near first-hand experience of the many strides taken and progress made in the Building Our Future Together Agenda within a short and unusual time. I am confident that we will continue to enjoy the support of the Federal Government towards bringing the best to the good people of Ogun State.”
So much has been achieved in Ogun State in the last 16months of the administration of Governor Abiodun and so much, especially in the area of infrastructural renewal, security, health, education and Information and Communications Technology among others would be achieved in the months ahead. The foundations have been laid.
In May 2019, when he was inaugurated, Governor Abiodun espoused his ‘Building the Future Together’ agenda for the state. According to him, the agenda aims to give Ogun State focused and qualitative governance and to create the enabling environment for a public-private sector partnership, which is fundamental to the creation of an enduring economic development and individual prosperity of the people of Ogun. Judging by the indices so far, he has not deviated or dithered, rather, he seems to be on a supersonic speed to pack many achievements into his years in office.
Indeed, what Governor Abiodun envisions for Ogun State drives his pursuits while his yearning for progress pits him against the odds that he inherited. Therefore, he is focused on making the next three years the best for the people of the state.
To actualise his goals, the governor is exploring every avenue to attract growth and progress for Ogun State; and, he has been hands-on and virtually omnipresent in all areas of the state’s life with laudable schemes and visible projects dotting the landscape of the state.
