Mrs Oluwaseun Aiyedatiwa, wife of the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has explained some of the steps being taken by her husband to improve the welfare of the people, applauding her husband’s visionary leadership and commitment to the welfare of the people, which she said is driving ongoing development projects across the 18 local government areas of the state.
Speaking at an event on Tuesday in Akure, the Ondo First Lady noted that the state has continued to record economic growth and transformative strides due to the governor’s people-centered governance.
Mrs. Aiyedatiwa particularly commended the governor for his belief in female leadership, stressing that his commitment to empowering women for self-sustenance and economic development remains unwavering.
“I must acknowledge and appreciate the Executive Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency, Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, for his visionary leadership and people-centered governance,” she said.
“Since assuming office, Mr. Governor has placed the welfare of the people at the core of his administration through the ‘OUR EASE’ Policy Thrust. There is no gainsaying the fact that we have witnessed bold and transformative strides across Ondo State in various areas of development,” she added.
Highlighting the administration’s achievements, the governor’s wife said education, infrastructure, healthcare, and security have been prioritised with different developmental and state-driven programmes to enhance the welfare of the people of the state.
According to her, scholarships, bursaries, school renovations, employment of teachers, and provision of learning materials have been expanded, enabling thousands of children and youth to access opportunities that will shape their future.
She further noted that the administration has intensified road rehabilitation and construction across the state to improve access to communities, markets, and schools, thereby facilitating trade and investment for economic development.
“So, this administration has relentlessly continued road rehabilitation and construction across the state with a view to improving access to communities, markets, and schools, thereby facilitating commerce and investment development.
“It is also heartwarming to note that new health facilities are being built and existing ones upgraded to ensure our people, especially those in riverine areas, have access to affordable healthcare. Maternal and child health interventions are equally safeguarding the most vulnerable among us,” the governor’s wife said.
On youth and women empowerment, Mrs. Aiyedatiwa explained that entrepreneurship support, vocational training, and access to credit facilities are being expanded to reduce unemployment and improve livelihoods under the Aiyedatiwa led administration in the state.
She also observed that the government has repositioned the Ondo State Security Network Agency (Amotekun Corps), in collaboration with other security agencies, thereby strengthening peace and security to create an enabling environment for growth and prosperity.
