Dapo Abiodun: One year after
When exactly a year ago Prince Dapo Abiodun was sworn in as the fifth elected governor of Ogun State, the stakes were mountain high. The Iperu-born business mogul and long-standing politician had treaded a path paved with thorns to the Oke Mosan Government House, hemmed in on every side by the government he unseated, but had surmounted all hurdles.
From security to infrastructure, and from agriculture to business, tourism and spirts development, Abiodun has shown what it means to have a proven and time-tested wealth creator and agent of change at the helms of affairs. Governor Abiodun wasted no time in addressing security issues. He procured 100 vehicles and 200 motorcycles to arrest security threats in the state after having first provided communications equipment for the security agencies.
In addition, Governor Abiodun established an agency to conduct, audit and provide a roadmap to actualising the “Light Up Ogun” project, with a view to ensuring that most cities in the state have uninterrupted power supply. The objective is to regenerate the state’s old cities, places like Abeokuta, Ijebu-Ode, Sagamu and Ilaro, in a sustainable fashion and without compromising the future.
Jettisoning the bitterness of the past, Abiodun ordered the full absorption of workers recruited through the back door by the immediate past administration in the state.
In all that he has done in the past one year, Governor Abiodun has made the people’s comfort his mission. He has served and protected Ogun people, including from the ravaging impact of the coronavirus pandemic, about which the Federal Government recently gave a great testimony. He had set up five isolation centres, increased contact tracing, and set up testing labs. It was through his efforts that Nigeria’s index case was traced and quarantined.
