The Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Abdul Raheem Lawal has urged workers of Oyo State Road Maintenance Agency OYSROMA to demonstrate their capacity and willingness to work, noting that the Makinde led administration is working hard to carry out the mandate given by the people of Oyo State on May 29, 2019.
Lawal stated this on Tuesday during his first trip to the Agency since being sworn in as the Deputy Governor of Oyo State to oversee the operations of OYSROMA as well as, the Oyo Housing Corporation and the Ministry of Justice.
He said government is ready to do a lot for the people in terms of infrastructural development and road maintenance for which OYSROMA was established.
“This is an engineering outfit. There is willingness of government to pump money. So you just have to shape up. I am coming back in the next two weeks. I am not particularly impressed by what I saw.”
The Deputy Governor charged the workers to be on their toes and make sure they are prepared for the work. You need to be in shape, in his opinion. You must be ready for hard work if the government is willing to provide funding.
Asserting that the administration still has time to make necessary corrections, he revealed that Governor Seyi Makinde has decided to provide at least one billion naira as a take-off grant to set things going.
The Deputy Governor, who is not particularly pleased with the Agency’s state, hinted while addressing journalists that there will be an arrangement to carry out projects as the government is ready to get materials to fix things up.
Barr Bayo Lawal said that, “I have promised the workers that i am coming back in the next two weeks. Even if we have the money ready, we must demonstrate the capacity to work and get the roads fixed. Government will put in grant to kick start the project”,-
Similarly, the Deputy Governor also visited the Housing Corporation where he charged the workers and staff to be diligent.
While urging them to sustain the legacies he left behind before his appointment as Deputy Governor, he maintained that board members are still in place despite the vacuum of General Manager and Chairman.
He urged the workers to work harmoniously with the board members and also comport themselves in all manners for the progress of the Corporation.
Adebayo Lawal also visited the Ministry of Justice to round off his inspection of the three Agencies under his watch.
He was received by the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Oyo State, Professor Oyelowo Oyewo and other leading members of the Ministry who promised to collaborate with him on legal matters.
