Ondo State Governor- Elect, Mr Oluwarotimi Akeredolu SAN yesterday inaugurated a strategic committee to develop a blue print that would guide his four year tenure as the sixth civilian governor of the state.
Aside 158 Strategic Development and Policy Implementation Committee (SDPIC), Akeredolu also inaugurated transition committees in preparation for the taking over of the administration of the state on February 24.
SDPIC's major responsibility, according to him was to develop a detailed sectoral policy and programme document which would be called 'A Blueprint to Progress in Ondo State (2017 – 2021).
The document to be prepared by the Committee headed by Engr. Funso Kupolokun, a former managing director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the governorelect said would guide government towards effective service delivery and a purposeful tenure.
Akeredolu said the underlining focus of their assignment is also to guide government to deliver on the popular five cardinal programmes which formed the very kernel of our campaign promises.
By the grace of God they will succeed. Inaugurating the committees in Akure, the State capital, Akeredolu said that the members of the committees were men and women who had distinguished themselves as the very best in their fields of relevance.
Akeredolu said the vision and mission of his administration was to lead a patriotic, highly inspired and competent team to rescue the ship of the State.
He said: "It is certainly not an understatement to say that these are difficult times for our state.
While no single large scale industry exists today in our state, businesses, both small and medium scales have collapsed thereby displacing the chances of productive employment for able bodied citizens.
