“Leadership is not about being in charge. It is about taking care of those in your charge.” – Simon Sinek
In the pursuit of ensuring the safety and welfare of its people, leaders in government often prioritize the protection of property and goods for the overall well-being of residents.
This sentiment resonates strongly with the honorable Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Hon. Seun Ashamu, as he spearheads the remarkable light up project in Oyo State.
Under the visionary leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde, this initiative has not only enhanced the security network but also transformed the lives of the state’s inhabitants.
