All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Ondo State, Stephen Adeyeri, also known as ASK, has praised Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for his achievements which he said, have set a new benchmark in the state’s history.
In an interview with newsmen, Adeyeri noted that Aiyedatiwa’s accomplishments far exceed those of previous administrations.
He credited the Governor’s remarkable progress for securing his victory in the most recent gubernatorial election.
He said, “Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has made significant strides in Ondo State, achieving feats that surpass those of his predecessors and setting unprecedented records in the state’s history.
“Under Governor Aiyedatiwa’s leadership, several key road projects have been initiated and completed, enhancing connectivity and boosting economic activities. The Aiyedatiwa administration has made the provision of infrastructure and social amenities a priority.
“When the Governor assumed office, he directed that all contractors return to their respective sites, ensuring they were paid based on the progress of their work.
“This action revitalized numerous stalled projects across the State. Among the road projects now receiving attention are the dualization of Oda Road, Ijoka Road, and the Irese/Shagari Flyover in Akure, as well as the dualization of Owo and the construction of Igoba Road.
The APC chieftain further noted Aiyedatiwa achievement in the aspect of education and job employment stating that his commitment has led to great achievements in the state.
He added “Recognizing the importance of education, the governor has prioritized the sector by approving the recruitment of many teachers to address shortages in public schools.
“Additionally, the state government released N550 million for the payment of 2024 WAEC fees for students in public secondary schools, alleviating financial burdens on parents and guardians.
“While the Governor is promoting the welfare of workers, he is also focusing his attention on providing employment opportunities for the teeming young people in the State.
“In February, the Governor approved the release of employment letters to 165 newly recruited staff of the Ondo State Internal Revenue Service (ODIRS). About 100 health workers were also recruited by the Civil Service Commission while the process is currently ongoing to recruit additional 600 health workers.
“I want to tell you that Aiyedatiwa’s visionary leadership and unwavering commitment have led to remarkable achievements that have transformed Ondo State, setting a new benchmark for governance and development in the region”, he added.
