Governor Dapo Abiodun is one such governor. Abiodun assumed the mantle of leadership in the ‘Gateway State’ against all odds. In his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), there were many forces and obstacles that were arrayed against him.
It is universally accepted that the main purpose of being in government is to improve the living conditions of the governed. Here at home, it is called dividend of democracy. It simply means that the lives of the people are touched positively by the policies of the government in power.
Criss Jami said and I quote: “To be truly positive in the eyes of some, you have to risk appearing negative in the eyes of others.” In essence, while the opposition is yet to see anything good in the government, situation reports across the nook and crannies of the state point to a satisfied populace, who are grateful to the Dapo Abiodun-led government for it’s modest achievements in the face of the global economic realities.
Indeed, one can unequivocally say that Ogun State is lucky to have an astute administrator at this time of great economic challenges. The Abiodun magic has been felt across the state, unlike the last administration, which concentrated it’s projects in a section of the state. The on-going construction of the 14-kilometer Ijebu-Ode-Epe is a futuristic approach to governance. The completion of this notable road, close to the border with Lagos, the nation’s commercial capital, is expected to open another industrial hub in the state, like the Agbara, Sango Ota industrial hub, which is also located close to Lagos. The road is 10 lanes, four on each side, with one pull-out section, and a 14-lane toll plaza for easy payment of tolls.
When the government came on board, the decay in the education sector was palpable with dilapidated classrooms and personnel with low morales, resulting in the state performing poorly in extetnal examinations, including the West African School Certificate, WASSC and the National Examination Council, NECO.
