I Have Put Osun Economy On Path To Sustainability - Oyetola

The Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola has revealed that his administration has taken the economy of Osun from a depressed state to the path of sustainability.

Oyetola said this on Saturday while speaking at the 31st Iragbiji Day, held in Iragbiji, Boripe local government area of the state.

The Governor said the lessons he learnt as a young man growing up in the ancient town helped in reshaping the state economy at the worst time in history.

"As the governor and son of Iragbiji, I have showcased the best of our dear town through provision of quality and equitable services in all sectors and especially health, education, security and economy. 

"I have managed the resources of the State, using the lessons that I learned on your laps – the skills of probity, accountability, creativity and innovation, rendering the best of services in a depressed economy and bringing our economy out of the woods and putting it on the path of sustainability.

“This is the signature which the Iragbiji put in my hands as a young boy growing up in a town surrounded by hills and I have put the seal on the State for all to enjoy.

“Together as a people, we have identified development as the basis of our union.

"In the past two years, we have made Development for Progress the theme of Iragbiji Day in line with our belief that for development to serve our collective purpose, it must be sustainable, equitable, planned, coordinated, holistic, and needs directed”.

Speaking on the importance of the celebration, Oyetola called on sons and daughters of the ancient town to show love and eschew hatred for the development of the town.

“Together as a people, we have identified development as the basis of our union.

"In the past two years, we have made Development for Progress the theme of Iragbiji Day in line with our belief that for development to serve our collective purpose, it must be sustainable, equitable, planned, coordinated, holistic, and needs directed.

“We must of necessity emulate what our brothers and sisters in Ijesaland are doing if we must accelerate the growth and development we desire as a people for Iragbiji land.

“Our greatest strength and potential lie with us.

"We possess all that we need to put Iragbiji on a steady and sustainable path of development and progress.

"Let us continue to discover the best of us to attain the best that we need, starting with cultivating our youths to achieve our progressive ideals.

“We must continue to wear the armour of love and peace as we seek the tool of development for our collective good,” Oyetola added. 

Earlier in his address the Aragbiji of Iragbiji, Oba Abdurasheed Ayotunde Olabomi stressed the need for genuine love to endear development in the community for the sake of the upcoming generation.
