Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has expressed his determination to ensure all-encompassing sustainable development of the state.
He expressed the commitment in his office while accepting the letter for the conferment of Governor of the Year Award (Infrastructure) on him by Vanguard Newspapers.
He stated that his administration is forging ahead on a mission to place Osun on the path of sustainable development through systematic physical and stomach infrastructure agenda.
“We are working on a new airport, an inland beach resort, cocoa sector revival, upgrade of the free trade zone for agro-industrialisation, robust climate change agenda and digital economy programme.
“I thank the management of Vanguard Newspaper for this recognition. I was with Pa Sam Amuka recently and I must confess that I learnt from his wealth of wisdom. This award coming less than two years in office strengthens my conviction that selfless service to the people should be the aspiration of all leaders.
“Since I assumed office, I have devoted myself majorly to delivering on our five-point agenda. I deploy my network locally and nationally in support of our noble projects and programmes for Osun. I am elated that our contributions are being noticed.
“I dedicate this award to the good people of Osun state. They made our positive records a reality. We have the unconditional support and love of our people in our push to take Osun to greater heights. I will personally attend the conferment in Lagos.”
Earlier, a top member of management and general editor of Vanguard Newspaper, Mr Jide Ajani who led other management team members told the governor that his choice for the award was prompted by credible reports of his achievements in infrastructure development of Osun State.
