Osun State Governor, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola has been commended for raising the bar of governance as well as institutionalizing transparency and accountability in the budgetary process across the various Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government.
A team from the Ondo State Ministry of Economic Planning and Budget made this known during a working visit to the State of Osun. In the process, they had an interaction with the state Commissioner For Economic Planning and Budget, Prof. Olalekan Yinusa.
Led by the Special Adviser to Ondo State Governor on Economic Planning and Budget, Mrs Olubunmi Ademosu, the Ondo team testified that the working visit to Osun has indeed been an eye-opener especially in the area of transparent budgetary process.
Mrs Ademosu said the tour to Osun has been a rewarding one for her and the team because they have seen the reason why Osun is always the bride of International donor agencies especially in the area of giving grants to assist the state.
The Special Adviser stated that the transparent nature of running Government in Osun is second to none because the system on ground will just not allow any wrongdoing, stressing that the beauty of it is that the right way to do things are being institutionalized with passion and sincerity by all officers.
While eulogizing Governor Adegboyega Oyetola for laying the template for a transparent and accountable style of governance, the Special Adviser maintained that the Governor has demonstrated a sincere desire and passion to steer the ship of the state forward.
“To say we are delighted about this working visit to Osun is an understatement, we have indeed been enriched in terms of knowledge on how to do things the right way. We can see that every officer is just determined to do things correctly.
“The foundation has been laid and the way I see it, there is not going to be any deviation from it, we have seen and we have learnt so much from the state of Osun”. Mrs Ademosu stated.
While thanking the Ondo team for their visit, Osun Commissioner For Economic Planning and Budget, Prof. Olalekan Yinusa said all credit must go to Governor Adegboyega Oyetola who came into office with the mindset to institutionalize transparency and accountability in the running of government.
