Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state says he has fulfilled his promise of basic infrastructure to the people of the state.
He stated this while speaking at an Award/Lecture programme organised by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ).
The governor said major programmes and policies of his administration, specifically in capital projects and human development, were greatly beneficial to the masses.
“If government lives for only those in government alone, then government must have lost its value, hence the reason why our government prefers to make projects that benefits majority of the people of Osun,” he said.
“The essence of government is compassion, and the primary role of government is to be compassionate and be concerned on the welfare and well-being of the people.
“Development should be for all citizens and not about few people. It is not about a section of the people but that which will positively affect all, civil servants who are important, significant and germane in the society.
“The roads that government built will be used by all, including the civil servants, the drainages we are building will save the civil servants from flood, the security we are improving upon to make sure that life is lived well will equally affect the civil servants.”
