The spokesperson to Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State, Olawale Rasheed has disclosed that the state government was planning intervention for workers and other residents of the state in the area of public transport, monitoring of fuel stations and public sector work time reviews.
These efforts, according to Rasheed, would soon be unveiled by Governor Adeleke as palliatives to cushion the effect of the recent subsidy removal on fuel.
Speaking on Imole Ayo, a sensitization programme promoting the activities of Governor Adeleke’s administration on OSBC Radio and Television channels at the weekend, the spokesperson said the planned intervention is to ameliorate the suffering of the masses.
He said top officials were finalising the state palliative plan in line with the directives of the governor.
According to him, the governor’s plan is to be sustainable, impactful and result oriented.
“Mr. Governor is set to announce the state plan to cushion the effect of hike in fuel price. Our Governor is pro-people and pro-worker.
“He wants an all-encompassing intervention in which all strata of the society will benefit,” Rasheed said.
He stressed that the governor was working tirelessly to make life bearable for the people of Osun State in all ramifications
Rasheed said Adeleke should be commended for being prudent in the management of the state resources, explaining that the meagre resources are being used to provide social amenities across the state
He assured all communities, towns and villages that are yet to benefit from developmental projects embarked upon by Governor Adeleke’s administration that the gesture would soon reach their areas
He urged all and sundry to support the present administration with prayers and through payment of their taxes for them to continue enjoying the dividends of democracy.
