Security
Security remains pivotal for a thriving and robust economy. Investors are assured of the safety of their lives, properties and investments within the borders of the state. We are working with federal authorities and have a newly constituted state security architecture to guarantee the protection of the people of Oyo state safe.
Other Sectors
Our Roadmap for Accelerated Development in Oyo State is standing on four pillars: Economy, Education, Healthcare and Security. However, we are not leaving out other sectors. It is our firm belief that a fully diversified and integrated economy, with all sectors working at the optimum, is essential for rapid growth.

A Speech at the LAUTECH 14th Alumni Lecture, titled ‘Creating a Responsive Economy in Handling Global Challenges Through Qualitative University Education in the Post-Pandemic Era
Since one of the “fundamental drivers of economic growth” is our university education system, we should be thinking of comprehensive reform programs that will reposition our universities as growth drivers. Policymakers should be concerned about the type and quality of education that we are offering to the youths. It should be an education that prepares them to be active drivers of our economy.
Independence Day Broadcast
So, as we celebrate Nigeria at 60, let us continue to give democracy a chance. May we never think of allowing the affliction of military rule to rise again. May we never forget that even the worst democratic government is better than the best dictatorship.
Remarks at the Symbolic Handover of the Pacesetter Fruit Processing Limited to Agvest Limited
Just yesterday, whilst handing over the Agbowo Shopping Complex to its concessionaires, I said the state government has no business running businesses. Businesses should be left in the hands of private organisations who know how to run them and make a profit. The role of the government is to create the enabling environment so that more of these private entities will be attracted to the state. And this is what we are doing in Oyo State. And as you can see, we are getting results.
Remarks at the Flag-off of the Renovation and Remodelling of the New Agbowo Shopping Complex
Previous administrations have tried and failed to renovate this complex. For example, the last administration said they signed an MOU with a development company. They were to embark on the “remodelling, redeveloping and rehabilitation of Agbowo Shopping Complex” for N8billion to be completed in 30 months. However, the project never saw the light of day. But something they could not do in eight years; we are doing in under two years. Also, by the Grace of God, we will have this complex completed within our tenure.
Address at the Flag-Off of the Construction of Three Hundred and Sixty (360) Housing Units At Egbeda LGA
We are working with Remax Realtors Limited. To make this project a reality, the Oyo State Government through the Oyo State Housing Corporation is providing thirteen (13) hectares of land for the scheme, while the developer will solely finance the entire project.
Remarks at the Commissioning of the Infectious Disease Centre [Renamed Saki Specialist Hospital] Saki
When we took over office last year, our healthcare system was not in the best shape. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to make the tough decisions to leverage the situation and accelerate our plans to address the dilapidating healthcare infrastructure in Oyo State. This [Saki Specialist Hospital], as well as the [infectious disease centre] in Olodo, are direct results of our well-thought-out approach.
Remarks at the Flag-Off of the ‘Light Up Oyo’ Project (Phase Two) and the Reconstruction of Under G-Stadium-LAUTECH-2nd Gate Road, Ogbomoso (3 Kilometres)
Street lights mean that economic activities can be carried out for longer periods. Who says we cannot have 24-hour restaurants, petrol stations and other businesses in Oyo State as happens in other cities worldwide? These developments start with basic infrastructure such as street lights.
