Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State has asserted that his government was toeing the path of the State’s founding fathers.
Despite his failure to pay workers for months, the governor said founding fathers of the state must be proud of his government.
The governor stated this in a statement issued by his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon, to celebrate the 24th anniversary of the creation of the state.
The statement read, ” In about four years under his watch, Osun has inched closer to the dreams of those who laboured for the creation of the state 24 years ago.
“We are irrevocably committed to a development paradigm that will lift our state to compete with any proud human habitation anywhere in the world.
“We appreciate the fact that the masses, who are the focus of our development strategies, identify the reasons behind our many efforts. For example, our ambitious urban renewal project is aimed at transforming to the 21 century modern cities with life changing infrastructure in place.
“Projects such as the Oranmiyan New Town, a Central Business District, organised transportation system aided by road networks for the purpose, a functional emergency response scheme in health, security and transportation sectors, modern recreation parks and gardens are all geared towards creating modern environments that our people can call their own.” .
