…Dedicates NANS Award to Oyo Gov
Exactly this day a year ago, I was announced as the Chairman Oyo State Park Management System (PMS) of our great State.
For me, the mandate was much more than a requirement for assumption of office.
It was a tripartite covenant between God and I, on one part, and the people of Oyo State, on the other.
On a personal note, I have always seen the providential twist in all I do. It is a day to count my blessings from the past. Also, it gives me a new veritable platform to begin higher service to humanity. This is what this office means to me, and it will continue to fuel my unwavering commitment to serve God and the good people of Oyo State, who are the true essence and owners of government.
In the last one year, therefore, we have committed ourselves to rekindling the hope and re-igniting the faith of the people in Oyo State transport sector. The overarching objective is encapsulated in the “Reforming, Transforming and Repositioning of Park Management System Agenda.
The kernel of the Agenda is our vision “to give Oyo State a focused and dedicated transport managers”.
Furthermore, we promised good governance defined as being transparent, accountable, open, just, equitable, fair, inclusive, and obeying the rule of law.
The last one year has been very eventful. There is no gainsaying that our Administration has continued to deliver on its promises.
Indeed, our “Reforming, Transforming and Repositioning” Agenda is firmly rooted with a solid foundation.
On this, I must thank our dear Governor Engr. Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde who deem us fit for this task and the good people of Oyo State for standing by us through the journey; the deluge of unnecessary litigations since assumption of office; and, through some of the teething challenges that are not unusual in the life of a new Administration. We thank our dear people most sincerely for their support, understanding, cooperation and prayers.
Ordinarily, we would have loved to roll-out drums to celebrate our a year in office with the people of Oyo State for the past one year with pomp and pageantry that is befitting of the milestone and the achievements recorded. But, the current hardship in the country prevented that.
I thanked the National Association of Nigeria Students (NANS) for the award given to me today, I hereby dedicate the Award to His Excellency Engr. Abiodun Oluwaseyi Makinde, The entire Executives and Members of the Oyo State Park Management System and the good people of Oyo State.
