We are here today to witness the 14th convocation ceremony of the Ladoke Akintola University of Technology. But as has been acknowledged by other speakers, this is a convocation like no other. It is a joint convocation of graduands from 2015 down to 2021.
And so, today, I have another opportunity to deliver the keynote address to you, the Presiding Officers of the Nigeria Legislature, on the topic, “Imperatives of Constitutional Amendments.”
So far, the Oyo State Government has been working collaboratively with the various security agencies in the state. When completed, this new base will improve the operational reach of the Nigerian Air Force in Oyo State and enhance crisis response time.
Yes, we will continue to fulfil our mandate to our people, in small ways and big ways. Part of that mandate is to stem rural-urban migration by ensuring good road network and interconnectivity outside Ibadan Zone.

When we say we are engineering a modern Oyo State, this is what we mean. We mean we are designing and building a modern Oyo State. The foundation of that design is a proper road network. This is why we will not ignore any viable road projects started by our predecessors.

We look forward to an exciting year ahead, and thank you, the good people of Oyo State, for giving us the opportunity to serve you.
Before I proceed with the signing of the 2022 Budget of Growth and Opportunities, let me thank you, the good people of Oyo State, for all the support you have given our administration in the last two years, and for the opportunity you have given us to serve you. It has been a privilege. We pray that you give us the same support as we move on to the remaining part of our current tenure.
Let me take a few minutes to talk about our approach to executing projects in Oyo State. Some people are still confused as to how we are still flagging off projects when some states are finding it difficult to pay salaries. They do not understand how we are raising Oyo State’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), building our economy and engineering a modern Oyo State.
