Since the inception of the administration of Governor Gboyega Oyetola in Osun state, a whopping sum of N35billion has been paid off from the state debt balance.
This was disclosed by a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and a former House of Representatives aspirant in the State, Hon. Adegboyega Bello while speaking in Osogbo at the weekend.
The repayment of this debt, among other economic gains in the state under Oyetola led government, Bello said were due to the financial prowess and understanding of the state governor.
Bello, who is also a financial expert, said it only takes financial acumen and much needed discipline to be able to drive the state despite its financial fragility.
The APC chieftain stressed that Osun’s fragile economy would have probably collapsed if not for the display of the exceptional stewardship and leadership skills of Governor Oyetola in managing the very lean resources of the state.
He said, “it’s most fascinating to learn that close to a whopping N35 Billion has been paid off from Osun debt balance since Governor Oyetola assumed office. This feat is in addition to massive infrastructural projects ongoing across the state, a case in point being the completion of renovation and upgrading of about 250 Primary health centers across the state all within 18 months in office.”
Speaking on the efforts of the Osun government in curbing the spread of COVID-19, Bello said commended Oyetola for being proactive in containing the disease in the state.
He described the governor as an experienced, thorough bred administrator who has dazzled his critics with his structured and methodical approach in combating the spread of the pandemic across the state.
Bello said there is “positive containment” of the dreaded virus within Osun.
