Osun State Governor Adegboyega Oyetola has lauded workers and the people for supporting the administration with consistent prayers.
Also, the Head of Service, Dr. Olowogboyega Oyebade, commended the administration for keeping to its promise to always put smiles on the faces of workers by paying the December salaries without waiting for the monthly Federation accounts allocation.
They spoke yesterday during the inter-religious prayer session organised by workers to herald Year 2020.
Governor Oyetola added: “Your collective and individual prayers and support were the groundwork for the victories and milestones we recorded last year. I recognise and appreciate the impact of your prayers and support on our victory at the court and on our efforts to commence the delivery of our Development Agenda in all the sectors.
“It is on this basis that I appreciate you all for standing firm and true in the interest of your state and your people. Workers are the engine room of government and the link between the government and the people. You are our right arm in the delivery of our services to the people. You were there for us last year when we laid the foundation for appreciable services for the people.
“I must say that I am blessed to have workers who willingly and conscientiously give me the three things that define the success of an administration: service, prayers and support.”
He urged the workers not to give up on their prayers for the government, assuring them that the administration would continue to prioritise their welfare and that of the entire citizens of the state.
Oyetola also thanked all the Christian and Islamic religious leaders present on the occasion and urged them to pray for sustainable success of the current administration, saying: “Putting God first every year and coming together as His people in love, unity and peace are no doubt the secret behind our achievements and distinction and, indeed, our ranking as an award-winning state.”

The governor enumerated part of the achievements of the administration to include economic transformation of the state through the convocation of the Osun Economic and Investment Summit and the establishment of the Osun Investment promotion Agency, saying there would be improved services across all sectors “by the time these two initiatives start to bear dividends this year.”
The governor said all hands must be on deck to double the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
Oyebade, commended the Oyetola Administration for keeping to its promise to always put smiles on the faces of workers.
He said that the December salaries of workers in the state were paid without the allocation from the Federation Account, noting that the gesture was a further confirmation of the governor’s commitment to the welfare of workers in the state.
