Indeed Governor Seyi Makinde is a leader that knows the way and knows how to lead. Before assuming office in 2019, he already saw into the problem of the State and came with a prepared plan to tackle them which he called “The Oyo State Roadmap for Accelerated Development, 2019-2023” Omituntun 1.0, this gives us the assurance that he is a visionary leader, who is not leading without a purpose or aimlessly.

The governor has worked with the strategies laid down in “The Oyo State Roadmap for Accelerated Development, 2019-2023” since he assumed office.
