As Oyo State commemorates 50 years of its creation, the golden jubilee offers a moment of pride, reflection and renewed commitment to progress. From its historic legacy to its present-day transformation, Oyo at 50 stands as a testament to resilience, enterprise and the collective will of its people.
The Seyi Makinde Volunteer (SMV) proudly joins the government and good people of Oyo state in celebrating this historic milestone, honouring the vision of the founding generation and the enduring spirit that has sustained Oyo State through five decades of growth and change.
For SMV, this celebration is deeply intertwined with the remarkable progress recorded under the administration of Governor ‘Seyi Makinde, whose leadership since 2019 has redefined governance and development in the state.
Guided by the Omituntun (New Media), Governor Makinde has prioritised people-centred policies and long-term planning, with tangible results across key sectors. His administration has made strategic investments in education, agribusiness, infrastructure, healthcare and security, while promoting transparency, accountability and fiscal discipline.
Across the state, road construction and rehabilitation projects have improved connectivity and boosted economic activities. Investments in agribusiness, including landmark initiatives such as the Fasola Agribusiness Industrial Hub, have strengthened food security and job creation. The government’s commitment to security, workers’ welfare and prompt payment of salaries and pensions has further reinforced public trust in leadership.
SMV commends Governor Makinde for his inclusive leadership style, calm disposition and consistent engagement with citizens. His focus on institutional reforms rather than populist gestures has positioned Oyo State as one of the leading examples of good governance in Nigeria.
As Oyo State marks its 50th anniversary, the celebration is not limited to past achievements. It is also a statement of confidence in the future. Across the state, there is growing anticipation for Omituntun 3.0, a new phase expected to consolidate existing gains, deepen reforms and accelerate sustainable development.
For SMV, Omituntun 3.0 symbolises continuity, stability and a shared determination to move Oyo State forward. It reflects the aspirations of the people for a future defined by prosperity, inclusion and good governance.
At 50, Oyo State stands stronger, more focused and more prepared for the journey ahead. With visionary leadership, active citizen participation and collective responsibility, the next chapter promises even greater accomplishments.
