The Executive Chairman of Ibadan North East Local Government, Hon Ibrahim Akintayo has commended Governor Seyi Makinde for his unwavering commitment to the growth and well-being of Oyo State residents.
In a release signed by the Council’s Information Officer, Ikeoye Oyetoro, the Chairman noted that Governor Makinde’s recent inauguration of a modern local government house and staff training school at the Secretariat, Agodi, Ibadan, is a landmark achievement which reveals Governor Makinde’s tireless efforts in enhancing lives of Oyo State residents.
Akintayo stressed that this significant infrastructure project which is the first of its kind under Makinde’s administration, dispels allegations of undermining the local government structure adding that, the governor announced plans to convert ad-hoc workers to permanent staff will tremendously bridge the workforce gap and enhance productivity.
Furthermore, the Oyo State Government’s approval of the recruitment of 791 officers into the mainstream civil service demonstrates Governor Makinde’s dedication to the state’s growth. This massive recruitment will absorb 230 Education Officers and 561 officers into various cadres, Akintayo said.
“Governor Makinde emphasized his administration’s ongoing collaboration with local government authorities, ensuring the benefits of democracy reach the grassroots. Since taking office in 2019, Makinde has paid primary school teachers’ leave bonuses for 2017-2023 and cleared massive backlogs of pension and gratuities to retirees. The governor has also upgraded 209 Primary Health Care centers, equipped 264 PHCs, and completed 60 model schools in collaboration with local government authorities.”
“Governor Makinde’s commitment to Oyo State’s development is commendable,” said Chairman Akintayo. “These initiatives demonstrate his dedication to the welfare and progress of our residents. We appreciate his efforts and look forward to continued partnership for the growth of our state.”
