Call him the performer you won’t be wrong, this is because Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has taken his achievements in one year in office since becoming Osun State Governor to an enviable height.

Much to the chagrin of his detractors, Adeleke’s good governance in just one year in office has been amazing as developments under his government are littered within the State since he assumed office one year ago.
For Governor Adeleke, accountability and transparency remain at the heart of his good governance as his government is about the people of the state.

As he has always said that he will be different from his predecessor, Governor Adeleke has always given vivid accounts of his stewardship to the people of the State.

Upon assumption in office, firstly Governor Adeleke made open the financial books of the State to the people through the Royal fathers in the state, this indeed showed a clear departure from the impenetrability and clandestineness that characterized the past administration in the state.

To bring to reality his commitment to accountability and transparency, the governor in October 2023 convened a gathering of stakeholders that traverses every sector of the Osun society, a gathering christened Ipada Imole, it was at this stage that the Governor opened his stewardship books to the people as well and got responses from the public.

In his words he said; “Ipade Imole will be a quarterly event. We have to let Osun people know how we are expanding their money. At this meeting, you can ask any question and we will answer you. You put us in this position.”

Just like it happened at Ipade Imole, this special report tends to highlights and showcase the detailed activities and overview of the Governor and his achievements since assuming office on November, 27, 2022.

HIGHLIGHTS OF HIS ACHIEVEMENTS ONE YEAR IN OFFICE:

Education:
With the premium he places on Education, Governor Adeleke is not leaving any stone unturned in this sector as he turned many things around in the area of education. To show how important education is to the Governor, he has come recently to say that he will implement the education summit’s report in the state to ensure the best quality education, a remark he made during the maiden edition of the Ipade Imole Meeting held at Aurora Event Centre in Osogbo.

According to him, the state Ministry of Education had been directed to conduct a needs assessment which would serve as a basis for recruitment and filling of vacancies in schools.

He said the report of the education summit would be ready and his administration was committed to implementing any positive trajectory to the development of education in the state.
Governor Ademola Adeleke has so many times described Education as an investment for the future and the key to eliminating inequality and reducing poverty as he commissioned a School built in 1896.

The Governor then vowed to continue to give education its top priority and restore the glory of public schools.

He made this assertion when he formally inaugurated a renovated Methodist Primary School, Otapete, Ilesa built 127 years ago.

Again, the governor renovated a block of six classrooms at Odeyinka Grammar School, Odeyinka, in Irewole LGA.......
