OYO GOVERNMENT AT 100DAYS IN OFFICE. | By Christopher Ayantoye

By Chris Ayantoye

Governance does not only require knowing where the shoe pinches but being ready also to bring relief.

You have not just so far proven to be a commendable difference by prompt payment of workers salaries, your understanding that it is not a favour but a constitutional right and ensuring that it gets paid without being begged for it is what beyond measures scores you  higher as a governor that really knows what he is doing.

Your approach to the state education system is another worthy step, abolishing the payment of N3,000 levy imposed on the public secondary schools students, approving a payment of N500,000 each as bursary award to Oyo state indigenes in Law Schools, all these will surely stay fresh for a long time in the minds of the people.

As a tick of clock reminds you of what should be done per time, let me humbly put it to you that there is a whole of works ahead of you, which from now should attract your immediate attention for action.

We once had Soka experience in Ibadan among other vices, see to it that security is atop your priority plans, not by just putting up a system that works, but involving in the same for a perfect delivery.

If you go round the State Sir, you will see that almost every road is in poor shape, government is a continuum and it is your responsibility, Your Excellency, to measure up where your predecessor stopped. Moniya-Iseyin road is the major access link by which food gets to Ibadan from Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State, make it a point of duty to see to it and complete the road plan for circular roads in Ibadan.

The inland dry port at Erunmu is another good means for job creation, this is among the many questions people will start to ask you for a feedback as time goes on.

The State Teaching Hospital in Ogbomoso should wear a new smile in your plan Sir and the Technical University should be made affordable for even children of the termed poor.

Bring back the sweet memories of academic awards when SUBEB was often winning cash prizez, when CBN was awarding Oyo state as the best performing state with agriculture access grants. It is not too much if the dilapidated school buildings can gain your attention for a touch and chairs can in abundance be distributed for the public school students as it was the practise in the past.

Your Excellency, the decay in our state education is not limited to provision of infrastructure but sanitizing the system itself in all possible ways. See to it that there is at least a teacher for a subject so that all efforts won't amount to nought by the results.

Teaching of moral values needs to return to the schools and resuscitating the office of School Councilors. We grew up to know Family living as a major course and to a large extent it helped in building us into better people.

All cannot be mentioned at a time and it is my belief that your Advisers will try enough to remind you rightly where it so requires.

Happy 100days in office, wishing you greater success and a glorious ending, Sir.
