Forward
It is POSSIBLE with my LEADERSHIP pact
Is it possible to have world-class primary, secondary and tertiary educational institutions in Ogun State? Can citizens and residents in Ogun State enjoy universal health insurance and access to affordable and high-quality health services? Can we upgrade the quality of human capital, the standard of living and infrastructure in our dear state to that equivalent to those in the developed world? Can we build an economy in Ogun State that creates jobs for our youths and prosperity for our people? Can we be like Johannesburg, Dubai, Houston, Dublin, London, Tokyo, and other global cities? Can all these things happen by 2035, which is just 16 years from 2019? I believe it is possible!

Based on our broad Leadership Pact, our urgent developmental priorities are represented by the acronym DEWSS-V standing for Development, Employment, Well-being, Skills/Competencies, Security and Values. In Yoruba, we describe these developmental priorities as “Iri Itura ati Iwa”.
Development:
We must ensure rapid socio-economic development to raise the quality of life and expand economic opportunities for our people.
Employment:
Our people need jobs, in thousands and hundred of thousands if not millions. We must create the enabling environment for massive job creation and attract investment. We must facilitate and incentivise job creation.
Well-Being:
Education, Employment, Food Security, Economic Opportunity, Healthcare and Social Development will all contribute to fostering improved human and social well-being in our society.
Skills and Competences:
We will equip our people with the skills and competencies required to find profitable employment, engage in creative industries, act entrepreneurially and compete in a service knowledge and technological based, agro-allied and industrial economy.
Security:
We must ensure security of lives and property, observance of law and order and deal with the social causes of insecurity especially poverty, unemployment, lack of economic opportunity and weak family and social structure.
Values:
All our developmental priorities will be underpinned by the renewal of the values of Omoluabi, Ise logun ise, Iwa irele, Ogbon, Alajobi and Otito.
