FORMER classmates of Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State have lauded his performance, saying the state is making visible progress.
The commendation, coming barely one year into the administration, was given at a dinner organised by the alumni of the University of Lagos Actuarial Science and Insurance, Class of 78.
The dinner was held in his honour in Lagos at the weekend, with his former classmates applauding him for his prudence in managing the scarce resources of the state.
One of his classmates and friend of over three decades, Olutoye Eleoramo who gave the keynote address, said Oyetola had raised the bar of governance but urged him to ensure that there are no out-of-school children in his state.
Another former classmate, a monarch, Oba Wole Adetimehin, said while they were in school, Oyetola distinguished himself and showed that he had high intellectual capacity.

His former colleague, Oye Odukale, described the governor as a man of integrity and he always gives attention to details.
“Those of us that were privileged to make the first set of insurance graduates have succeeded in life. Back in the days, Governor Oyetola distinguished himself in many areas.
He possesses high intellectual capacity and you could see in him all the attributes you find in a leader,” Oba Adetimehin said.
On her part, the wife, Mrs. Kafayat Oyetola, who was asked to speak about the governor as a father and husband, described him as a responsible father and husband who is always there for her and the children, especially while they were growing up.
Responding, governor Oyetola said at the initial stage, he wasn’t interested in being in government but believed that God wanted to use him to serve his people and that was why he took up the challenge.
