Governor Seyi Makinde is leaving lasting legacies that will ensure functionality of government Institutions for sustainable developmental programs of government.

The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade, disclosed this while playing host in his office to the management of a new radio Station in Ibadan, Melody 100.7FM

Prince Oyelade said the focus of the Seyi Makinde administration in the last five years is to empower and entrench government Institutions such that they will be more powerful than those who established them in the first place.

The commissioner said institutions such as the Oyo State Anti-corruption Agency (OYACA), the Oyo State Mobilization Agency for Socio-economic Development (OYMASED), the Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority including those already in existence are being consolidated to play big roles in an efficient bureaucracy.

The commissioner noted that the unequalled employment of over 23,000 Youths, apart from serving to lower the unemployment rate in the State, is actually a strategy deployed by the Seyi Makinde administration to booster a robust succession plan for the ageing civil service in order to actualise the aims and objectives of the State road map for sustainable development agenda 2023 to 2027.

Prince Oyelade also said that the promotion of 45 new permanent secretaries is also a strategy to strengthen and consolidate the State’s Developmental Agenda.

In his address, the General Manager, Melody 100.7FM, Mr Eniola Afolabi, expressed readiness for a symbiotic relationship with the Oyo State Government to promote professional sanity in the society.
