Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has declared that his administration has surpassed the annual good governance target it set on assumption of office on November 27, 2022.
The governor stated this in an interaction with journalists before embarking on a working vacation.
He said, “When I assumed office, we had benchmarks and deliverables according to each sector. Our team sets milestones to achieve in health, education, infrastructures, ICT, agriculture, youth, women among others. I looked back and I can tell you we performed beyond our plans.
“The opposition APC is still nursing the wound of their electoral defeat. So the party is ashamed to see the positive changes we are recording in the state. Our achievements are there for all to see.
“In the road sector, we reconstructed a total of 90 kilometres of roads with another 45 kilometres ongoing. We completed key intercity roads like the Ikirun-Osogbo Road while Iwo-Osogbo is ongoing. We completely rehabilitated 31 schools with another 31 in the pipeline. We built 332 water projects while major water works at Iwo, Ede, Osogbo, Eko ende are under rehabilitation.’’
The governor said his administration was focused on the health sector through Imole Medical Outreach which provides immediate surgeries for over 50,000 beneficiaries so far.
“We address welfare needs of doctors and we have selected 345 health centres in the state for complete rehabilitation.
“In science and technology, we introduced a digital economy agenda with new ICT and tech innovations policies. We developed a bill to domesticate the Nigeria Startup Act and launched programmes to deepen internet penetration of the state through broadband fiber optic projects” Adeleke said.
