Ademola Adeleke, the Governor of Osun State, has advised key players in his government to shun any form of corruption that might harm the people of the state.
Governor Adeleke also tasked them with being creative, hardworking, and prudent.
The Governor delivered the charge at the start of a three-day strategy retreat and onboarding programme in Ede for new political office holders and key stakeholders in Osun State.
Commissioners, Special Advisers, and Permanent Secretaries are among those present.
He stated that his government was focused on a five-point plan that included worker welfare, supporting companies, and revitalising the state economy through the implementation of measures that would increase the state’s GDP.
He disclosed that his administration identified local suppliers and was looking for ways to develop the local economy by preventing the exporting of contracts and services from outside the State.
The only exception, he said, was if there were no qualified hands in the state to do the task.
“There must be a collaborative effort to reform education, health, agriculture and peoples’ welfare.
“Osun is blessed with resources which can be used to create wealth for the people.
“I want you to know that this is our State and we must do everything possible to develop it. This State is blessed with resources which, if well managed, can improve our economy and at the same time, create wealth for all and sundry.
“I want to task and share with you principles of unity to achieve collective success.
“Please, avoid infighting and you must work together as a team to achieve the desired goals. Political appointees and Permanent Secretaries must work within the public service rules,” he stated.
He also instructed the government’s Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to include the various House Committees in the operations of respective Ministries.
