Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has appointed himself as the State Commissioner for Works, and his deputy, Kola Adewusi, as the Commissioner for Sports and Special Needs.
Adeleke, who inaugurated 25 commissioners as members of the State Executive Council after eight months in office on Wednesday, July 19, 2023, urged the commissioners to work as a team with a common goal to make a difference in the lives of the people.
The governor also charged the commissioners to redouble their efforts to deliver on his electoral promises.
While noting that the commissioners were the product of stakeholders’ choices, Governor Adeleke said his preoccupation throughout the process was a merit-based pathway.
He said: “My leadership is about due process and rule of law. You must not cut corners. I will not compromise transparency and accountability.
