The Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun has been nominated as the Best Governor of the Year 2021 by the Vanguard Newspaper in appreciation of his efforts in rebranding the State.
Speaking after presenting the letter of nomination to the governor in his office at Oke-Mosan Abeokuta, the Deputy Editor of the Newspaper, Mr. Adekunle Adekoya, said the Award is in recognition of what the administration has achieved using the Infrastructure, Social wellbeing, Education, Youth Development and Empowerment and Agriculture (ISEYA) in the last three years.
According to Adekoya, “this Award did not come as a surprise. It is something we do in the Vanguard. It takes us four months of intense deliberation by looking at all indices before we give the Award to anybody.
Governor Abiodun through ISEYA has transformed the
State through the provision of good road network.
Worthy of mention is the ongoing construction of the
Atan-Lusada-Agbara road which would not only serve the companies operating there and the people. The
ljebu-Ode-Epe road would serve al Nigerians as it would save them the trouble of using the ever busy Lagos-lbadan Expressway”.
He commended the governor for dousing the political temperature of the State following the runoff to the 2019 elections, adding that peace is needed for any meaningful development in any society.
Responding, Governor Abiodun thanked the media house for the recognition, noting that the administration since
inception was committed to the development of the state through the provision of necessary infrastructural
amenities to attract more investment and also make life better for the people of the State.
Governor abiodun explained that in the last 31 months government has performed creditably in every sphere of the state’s economy through the implementation of policies that make the state to be a hub of investors.
