Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has said his administration would continue to make best decisions and serve the interest of the state and guarantee a secured future for the residents.
He also promised to build on the good policies and legacies of the past administrations and those implemented during his first term of office.
Makinde made the remarks at the 2024 annual interfaith thanksgiving service held at the Open Space of the House of Assembly Complex, Secretariat, Ibadan.
This was as the speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, appreciated Governor Makinde for approving a 35 percent increment in the basic salary and 30 percent increment of other allowances under the negotiated Consolidated Legislative Salary Structure.
Speaking at the 5th edition of the programme held since he became governor in 2019, the governor called for immeasurable thanksgiving to God and also appreciated the people of the state, especially the civil, public servants and pensioners, for their support before, during and after his re-election into office.
He said, “Government exists to look after the welfare of the people. While we are looking after ourselves to give us what we can live on, we also have to look at the development of the state.
“What should we be doing to secure our future? We have to complete the infrastructural projects we have started. We believe our infrastructure must hunt our economy and be in such a way that it must allow us to earn more and create a prosperous state.’’
