The governor of Osun State, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has said that his administration would begin the construction and maintenance of roads across the state shortly after the rainy season.
He also stated that before the end of the year, the government would show the public an example of how public secondary schools must be like, the prototype of which would likely be completed by September.

Giving the hint in Ijebu-Jesa, the headquarters of Oriade Local Government Council Area of the state last Wednesday during the commissioning of some developmental projects carried out by the council chairman, Honourable Taiwo Fatiregun, the governor said that for a government to perform, it needed an appreciable period of time to handle budget, initiate policies and put in place programmes that would benefit the people forever.

He said: “The roads are going bad, no doubt, and that is the indication of poor management of our resources in the last seven and a half years, but whoever wants to attempt road maintenance and construction now, during the rainy season, is just wasting money and time.

“We are reserving our energy and resources till after the rains. You will see superlative performance on road maintenance and construction. We are not comparable to those that wasted our resources for seven and a half years in any way and I am happy that our people noticed this before they chose us in preference to them. By the grace of God, we shall not disappoint them.

“Before the end of this year, you will see the example of secondary schools that we are going to build and there will be no local government council area that will not have samples of it. The schools will be unique and they will take a large number of students, such that the present schools locations that are not worthy of our pupils would be dedicated to other things, while several of them would be able to match standard, beautiful and attractive academic institutions anywhere in the world”, Aregbesola noted.

Commending the council boss for his achievements within his short stay in office, the governor said that the performances of his proxies in all the council areas would be a tip of what would be recorded as an achievement and performance of the present administration from local government to the state level within the next one year.

He said that inspite of the little allocation to the council areas, the council bosses were still taking good governance to the doorsteps of the people, saying, “it is their allocation that they are using now; we are conserving the Excess Crude Oil fund that is meant for capital projects; which was being used by the last administration to eat pepper soup. “The fund is with us and by the time we are set, we will release that fund to them and you will see the amazing things that they will do with it”.

The essence of governance, he said, was to see government touching the lives of the people, adding that government has no business being in position if the welfare of the people is not affected.

“Whenever I read the tantrum of those who ruled us for seven and a half years without anything to show for it, I laugh and tell myself that as much as God lives, no matter how cocky they are, within the first two years, with the level of our performance, they will declare publicly that they did not perform at all.

Beaf:

What a funny guy! Here is a man who cannot even choose a couple of commissioners to serve the masses. He is going to single-handedly build schools and roads before the end of the year. He makes grand and highly deluded speeches; he promised to turn Osun state into the centre of Yoruba culture and tourism before the end of the year, not stopping there, he was going to massively export yams to Lagos by train and bring back the farm implements that would help Osun build its very own replica of Oke-Arin market.

Oke-Arin market? The man is mad. Nigeria's very own Don Quixote.

Its history repeating.
We never learn our lesson, African history is replete with all sorts of megalomaniacs and madmen. This is Jeane Bedel Bokassa of the Central African Republic, a thoroughly ugly fool that in 1976, declared himself the "Head of the House of Bokassa" and "His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor of the "Central African Empire." He took a personal part in the toture and execution of his enemies and his "empire" was modelled after that of Napoleon.

Beaf:

^
Lol!
Bros, shine your eyes before it is too late.

Rhino.5dm:

^ why bother explaining to a PDP paid agent? Look like i ealier said when Beaf 'pop up' from middle of nowhere to start very silly threads, that peeps should stay away from his venom.

His covert mission is to reduce the heat on the failed PDP government by feeding a rotten idea to the dummies, while sublimly running their small IQ brains like a xbox infra-red remote control.

The question is why is he so INTRESTED is this fellow when so many PDP governors are turning their state in to a mini-IRAN?. . .Do you see him shouting on why states like plateau bans the wearing of trouser by female? . . Why kwankwaso is demanding to be paid 1.3 billion by the state government for his personal house?. . .why Delta state SSG is keeping more than 50 thugs in his '10 billion' naira mansion?  Nah!

I dare him to talk about his clueless oga and the tenure elongation saga!

But then we all know how the PDP propaganda machine operates and why on earth was he singling out the ACN governor since the last two days.

Why hasn't he talk about Rachas 'shameful' appointments? . .like SA on lagos affairs, chief comedian of the state and so on? If you want to live long stay out of BEAF and his cohorts. They are nothing but DRACULAs looking for blood to suck.

kasiem:

If it were to be gej that broke this guiness record, by staying upto 8months without a cabinet, what would've b3n our reactions?

Demdem:

ooo boy, that would be catastrophic ooo becos he will be so useless and everything will be at a standstill and it will take Gods grace if a coup wont occur. with ministers he is failing, i cant imagine what will happen if there are no ministers abegii.

However, in the case of Osun state, the state wasn't grounded and goverment business wasnt in comatose when there were no commissioners. please dont compare GEJ to Aregbesola.

careytommy:

@ beaf, leave this apologists who never see anything wrong so far it is ACN.
imagine their line of arguement  

olaezebala:

for those of you calling beaf a fool for saying the fact then you're the bigger fool. Have being in the state for some yrs now and beaf is right about his analysis. Some idiots stay in Lagos and think everything done by a gov from Asiwaju's Cult of Nigeria (ACN) is always right. The new maradona-TINUBU claimed dt appointing commisioners have no constitutional backing whereas he had the silly fool as a commisioner then. wake up brother and sisters, this guy is nt working. only those in o7un can testify.fy.

1025:

@beaf,
even with millions of ministers and wasteful aides, your jonathan is yet to point to one tangible thing to show for all our trillions.
look at electricity, with all the road and bush maps, where are we?
look at security, even with all security faults and defense ministers and chief of commander and commander in chief, how far?
look at our roads, look at our federal schools and hospitals, what a shame?
a deceit that signed minimum wage law to win election is yet to implement that.
look at our corrupt officials, jonathan is one president that is yet to send a single person to jail for corruption. in all these, u choose to call another man mad. u and your linage are mad.

Gbawe:

@Koruji .

Do you now see what I was illustrating the other day? Is it now crystal clear? I bet all the senseless critics of Aregbesola in this thread are not from the SW . One has to wonder if this shameless and non-stop negative [/b]fascination with the SW is not driven by a sheer desperation to 'invoke' failure on the only region that is now virtually free of the "nest of killers" PDP.

It is not rocket Science to note that the paid hacks of GEJ on Nairaland , and their ethnic bigot followers,[b] fear the success of the ACN that will put pressure on the non-performing PDP in future. If the ACN is delivering ,and Nigerians can see that, it is obvious that not many states will resist the electoral allure of the "Yoruba Party"  in future. This is a prospect that is worse than death for some folks.

Bash92:

Some People are so blind to see the truth and say it.
Because fashola of acn is performing very well does not mean aregbesola wil do wel.imagine a governor elected in a state and since inauguration last novermber he has not spent a whole month in is state all he does is travelling out of the state in fear of the NJC PROBE.
Since inauguration eight month ago he has only been able to do three things o'yes prog, environmental sanitation and singing saheed Osupa for the people of osun.
@beef dont listen to the acn crazy people who only see good things in what acn does and bad in what other political party's do.

Aregbesola Delivers 3,000 Acres Of Land For Dry Season Farming

In line with his Six-Point Integral Action Plan, efforts by Governor Rauf Aregbesola to ensure massive food production in Osun State has received a boost, as 3,000 acres of arable land have been ploughed and planted for 67 farmers groups based in all the 30 Local Governments for the latter year farming. .
The programme which was flagged off by Aregbesola on March 31 has also recorded a major breakthrough in the disbursement of N153.26 million loan facility in cash and kind to the 67 farmers groups.
Executed under the Quick Impact Intervention Programme (QIIP), it was designed to speedily assist co-operative farmers to seize the opportunity of early rains to cultivate arable crops including the provision of inputs like tractorization of farmlands, fertilizers, herbicides and seedlings.
The QUIP model was initiated by the Osun Rural Enterprise and Agricultural Programme (O’REAP) to serve as catalyst for the achievement of bumper food harvest.
Modelled to utilize the on-going raining season to assist farmers to achieve improved food crop production, the QIIP model was deployed to provide inputs and land preparation to remove drudgery associated with traditional farming practices.
So far, a total of N49,110,225.00 has been disbursed by the Bank of Agriculture to farmers who have planted food crops like maize, cassava and rice on at least 47 hectares of land.
Beneficiaries of the loan are being given access to the facility in installments for specific operations so as to guarantee judicious usage and prevent misapplication of the fund.
It is after an operation has been satisfactorily completed that the farmers would be able to access the next stage of the loan to carry out the purpose for which it was provided.
O’REAP devised this method to curtail incidence of loan diversion or misapplication in addition to guaranteeing the success of QIIP.
Giving insight into how the project was carried out, Co-ordinator of OREAP and Team Leader of the Planning Group on Agriculture of the Governor, Dr. Charles Akinola disclosed that the multi-agency group was partnering with the Bank of Agriculture to showcase early demonstration of partnership with the private sector and service providers.
He advised members of the public to expect bumper harvest and increased assistance from the Aregbesola administration as the second cropping season of the year approaches.
Akinola stressed that “what we are doing is to aggressively scale up so that we can realise broader impact of O’REAP intervention as we move into the second cropping season and preparing for next year’s planting season”.

Gbawe:

I don't expect your knowledge to be anything but deliberately limited. What is written below must be fantasy then. Abeg , just give it up. You are not from the SW and the PDP will not be making a recovery in the region regardless of what you say in cyberspace. End of story. Stop demonizing the good guys just because you feel that is what you need to do to support GEJ and prove that "ACN is no different to the PDP". Nigeria needs to return to agriculture , amongst the many other sectors thriving before our oil doom boom. Aregbesola is doing this laudably. You cannot distract him so stop wasting your own time.

careytommy:

@ gbawe, its obvious you are a very bigoted person with your 'us vs them' mentality
how does aregbe's non-performance uplift my wellbeing in ph?
does aregbe have the monopoly of knowledge? he has been operating a govt without commisioners for 8 months.what has he achieved in that period without them and why does he need them now?
