Speaking on efforts of government to empower artisans in the state at a stakeholders meeting held at Government House in Akure on New Year eve, Mimiko reiterated his administration’s commitment to continue to empower artisans to drive the needed socio-economic development.
He emphasised the need to diversify the nation’s economy in all critical sectors, particularly agriculture for sustainable growth.
He enjoined the people of the state to engage in farming as a way of overcoming the harsh economic climate that Nigeria is experiencing, even as he enjoined all to work very hard in the New Year to ensure a good life.
The governor bagged the Most Artisan Friendly Governor Award during the state Artisans Day 2015 and Awards Presentation held at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Arcade in Akure where the artisans declared their supports for the good works of Mimiko’s administration.
