Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke alongside top officials and dignitaries, has commissioned the newly rehabilitated Government House in Osogbo.
Adeleke’s Spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, in a statement on X, stated that Governor Adeleke on Saturday afternoon opened the rehabilitated Government House at Osogbo with top officials and dignitaries who joined in the inspection and commissioning of the facilities, with prayers.
The rehabilitation included the completion of an abandoned multi-bedroom Guest House, the remodeling of many of the structures, and the re-fixing of many derelict facilities and facelift of the entire Government House.
Addressing the dignitaries in a short programme, the Governor said upgrading state assets is his government’s policy and his administration is committed to upgrading state assets irrespective of whether such programmes are inherited or commenced by him.
“I have upgraded the Government House just as I rehabilitated the Governor’s office. We ensured the Government House is rescued from the open neglect we inherited. You can all see the upgraded facilities which now places our state in good stead in the comity of states.
“I met an abandoned Guest House where top dignitaries can be hosted instead of huge bills on outside accommodation. I ordered its rehabilitation and today it is completed. The presidential Lodge I met on the ground was in a terrible state. Our team fixed it.
“Our administration is passionate about upgrading state assets because they are for generations even yet unborn. We must act genuinely on the mantra that government is a continuum. Abandoning projects or state assets as Osun witnessed in recent past is a sign of bad leadership.
“As our government is completing old projects and initiating new ones, we are also maintaining and upgrading the old structures, fixing them for effective usage of the state.
“To the good people of Osun state, your Governor has moved into the Government House. I pledge to redouble our efforts at delivering on the five point agenda. We are truly fixated on sustaining the delivery of good governance,” the Governor said.
Accompanied by the Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi, the House Speaker, Hon Adewale Egbedun, the Secretary to the State Government, Hon Teslim Igbalaye, the Chief of Staff, Hon Kazeem Akinleye, and other members of the State Executive Council, Governor Adeleke officially moved into the Government House amidst prayers and heavy rain across Osogbo yesterday.
