We have reduced infrastructure deficit by 40% in Osun — Gov Adeleke

By Ismail Azeez, Osogbo

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke has said his administration has reduced infrastructure deficit in the State by 40 percent.

Adeleke disclosed this on Wednesday while playing host to the management of one of the national dailies, who came to present an official invitation to him at an annual event where he will be honoured as Governor of the Year 2024.

The governor said the ultimate goal is to accelerate infra upgrade alongside the boosting of soft investment for the well being of the people in the State.

He said, “In the last one year, our government has been conferred with several awards across the sectors. Aside from reputable newspapers like the leadership stable, we have received accolades from several federal agencies and non-governmental bodies. The consensus from those reviewing our performance and service delivery is that we are true agents of good governance.

“In all these positive ratings, my response has always been to task my team to double their efforts. In the face of overwhelming positive reviews and high approval ratings , I am compelled to drive my team harder. When recently some opposition figures confessed to our positive ratings, I still believe we have a lot of  grounds to cover.

“I am not allowing the praises to enter my head. While it may be true that I have delivered a four year task in under two years, I am propelled to do more because Osun has been left behind on many fronts. As I have reduced the infra deficit by over 40 percent, my real target Is higher.

“As I have bridged access to primary health care, my ambition is to also expand health access at medium and tertiary levels. While our records across the sectors are laudable as your newspaper has acknowledged, the ultimate goal is to accelerate infra upgrade alongside the boosting of soft investment for the well being of our people.”
