Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke has expressed appreciation to Osun people for their support for his administration in its quest to deliver on his five point agenda on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
In a statement by Governor’s Spokesperson Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke gave the appreciation while addressing a technical meeting of his Policy Coordination Unit.
The Governor, reviewing the implementation of his five point agenda, expressed satisfaction at the delivery so far across the various sectors.
“I am largely satisfied with our programme implementation so far. We have surpassed expectations and targets within one and half years in office. We just need to redouble our efforts as we face mid-term in the next six months.
He said the feedback from the public has been encouraging as the people gave his government an A-rating in workers’ welfare, infrastructure, health, education and in other sector.
“They are happy we are delivering on good governance. A friend said our approval rating is over 80 percent. I told him I must work harder in some areas, especially that 20 percent gap. The good thing is we are just one and half years in office.
“ Our party has also become very entrenched across the local governments. Leaders who were not with me during the gubernatorial primaries are now solidly with us. We are gaining more ground as people get pleasant surprises with our performance.
“Feedback shows our people are happy with our dual effort at physical and stomach infrastructure. We will continue to build the road and the people. We will not neglect human development for physical development”.
Governor Adeleke urged the Policy Coordination Unit to ensure proper coordination in policy design and implementation to harness policy innovation in power, digital economy, agriculture, general economic planning, investment drive, sustainable development, youth development and gender focus under the five point agenda.
