Investors showing unprecedented interest in Oyo State—Makinde
By Admin
Oyo State Governor, Engineer Seyi Makinde, said on Thursday that investors are already showing unprecedented interests in Oyo State, explaining that in a short while, the people would start witnessing the result of massive investments.
Governor Makinde, who stated this while addressing the 2019 edition of the Oyo State Productivity and Merit Award, held at the Theophilus Ogunlesi Hall of the University College Hospital, Ibadan, added that his administration’s promise of a private sector-led economy has begun to pay off.
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted the Governor as insisting that his administration would continue to deliver on its promises.
He said: “We promised a private-sector-led economy and I am glad to say that investors have shown unprecedented interest in Oyo State. So, very soon, we will start having the benefit of investment growth in Oyo State".
"They have said Seyi Makinde is an audio governor but we promised to keep paying workers’ salaries on GSM date (25th of the month) and, consistently, we have been paying. We promised that we will scrap the N3,000 school levy and that we were going to give grants in place of this and we have done that".
“We promised that we will execute infrastructural projects that target our economy. We have awarded the major arterial road from Moniya to Iseyin. I will inspect it next week but the feedback I have is, the contractors are meeting up and they will deliver the project on or before November of this year".
“Some political jobbers will tell you that the Staff Audit and Payroll Verification Exercise is targeted at witch-hunting workers. I want to specially thank the labour leaders and the entire workforce for your cooperation and commitment. For us, if you don’t know how many people you are feeding in your household, you won’t know how you should plan and the only reason we are doing this is to ensure that we know, with precision, how many people are drawing salary from the treasury of Oyo State".
“There have been challenges and we are putting in effort to ensure that they are addressed".
