Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has promised that his administration will continue to foster an economy that promotes growth, equity, and resilience through sustainable development plans.
The governor also admonished the people of the state to set aside their differences and continue to coexist with one another for the peace and development of the state and the country at large.
Abiodun, who stated this in his New Year address, stressed the need for the people to come together in the new year with renewed vigor and work for the good of society.
He said his administration has made a positive, inclusive, and lasting impact on the lives of the people through the construction of roads, provision of affordable housing, human capital development, youth and women empowerment, qualitative healthcare, and food security.
Other sectors in which the administration has made significant progress, according to Governor Abiodun, include transportation, security, education, and energy.
The governor pointed out that the administration leveraged the state’s comparative and competitive advantages, as well as diverse economic potentials, to create an adaptable, evolving and capable system that absorbs shocks.
He maintained that the ISEYA mantra, acting as a compass for his administration’s developmental drive, has helped to enhance speedy growth in all sectors. He acknowledged that there is still more to be done, adding that the government would continue to address issues that affect the people, such as economic realities, unemployment, and inadequate social amenities.
While pledging to remain focused, deliberate, committed, and inclusive by keeping his promises and sustaining the implementation of the ISEYA mantra, the state helmsman emphasized that his government, in the new year, would continue to work tirelessly to ensure that every citizen has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.
