Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, yesterday, inaugurated the newly-elected council chairmen into all the 69 local councils and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), urging them to hit the ground running.
Oyetola, who tasked them to provide adequate, quality and equitable services on consistent basis to the people, also urged them to be magnanimous in victory to their political opponents.
Oyetola noted that the council election could not come earlier considering the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences on governance.
“The swearing-in today of the elected chairmen and vice chairmen signalled the end of service of those appointed into caretaker committees at the local council level across the state. Government is appreciative of their services to the state. “With the passage of the relevant law and today’s inauguration, Osun is fully back to the presidential system recognised by the constitution of the nation and its benefits at the council level,” he said.
