Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has vowed to run an inclusive and transparent government in Ondo State this year, with focus on the overall welfare of the people.
While expressing gratitude to God for the successes recorded in the past year, Aiyedatiwa recalled that 2024 was filled with challenges, yet God saw the state through.
The governor made the pledge during the 2025 First Working Day Prayer Meeting held yesterday in Akure. He pointed out that the state remains one of the safest and most peaceful in the country, making it a preferred investment destination. His words: “Despite the challenges, God restored peace and tranquillity in our state, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
“Our administration has deliberately prioritised good governance, translating to massive developments in all sectors of our economy. We owe no promotion in arrears, have recruited personnel into critical sectors, and have ensured the regular payment of salaries and pensions, including the implementation of the new minimum wage of N73,000.
“Work continues on ongoing infrastructural projects, especially urban and rural roads. In education, bursaries and scholarships have been provided for indigenous students, while in the judiciary, we have appointed new judges to improve access to justice.
As the state transitions into a new mandate period from February 24, 2025, Aiyedatiwa unveiled his administration’s new policy blueprint, ‘OUR EASE,’ which he said would focus on areas such as security, urban and rural development, technological advancement, efficient healthcare, sustainable agriculture, and education.
“This blueprint will guide our efforts to accelerate the development of Ondo State. We are resolute in our commitment to making 2025 a year of economic recovery and growth,” he said.
On his part, the Head of Service, Bayo Philips, emphasised that the hope of the civil service is anchored on Jesus Christ. He urged workers to cultivate an attitude of gratitude towards God.
Earlier, in his sermon titled, “Now That We Are Here, What Should We Do?”, Michael Ogunbayode, the Senior Elder at Seasons of Life Ministry, Lagos, stressed the importance of understanding divine timing, and aligning actions with God’s purpose.
