A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa says the ongoing revamp of the education system; increased funding to improve the quality and access to education for children of school age, among other policies already introduced by his administration, will yield positive results in 2020.

Governor Makinde stated that his government has put in a lot of effort in turning around the health sector, ensuring maximum security of lives and property in order to revamp the economy of the state, thereby lifting people from poverty to prosperity.

He promised not to relent in the efforts to turn the fortunes of Oyo state around.

In the area of economic expansion, Governor Makinde explained that the state’s economy was already being driven by the revolution in agriculture, small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) development, and infrastructure development among others.

He encouraged the residents of the state to think of contributions they could make as part of efforts in making Oyo State the state of their dreams.
