Friday OmosolaWike Carpets Judiciary: Accuses them of Mismanagement of Funds
Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has urged the workers of the state to spend moderately as the Christmas and new year celebration begins.
The Governor urged the people of the state to reflect the mood and realities of the moment by limiting expenses to their purses, stating that Christmas and New Year Celebration Must Reflect the Current Mood And Reality.
Akeredolu made the call at the Year 2021 Ondo State Service of Carols and Nine Lessons held at the International Culture and Events Centre (The Dome), Akure, the state capital.
“I must not fail to charge that our celebration of Christmas and New Year must reflect the mood and realities of the moment. Without pronouncing it, we all know that we are in austere times.
“Let us limit our expenses to our purse. We must not go borrowing to celebrate the season. Let us restrain any urge to do more than our capacity. This is a piece of advice which we must heed.”
The Governor also reiterated that his administration is committed to securing the lives and properties of the people of the State, stating that his administration will not play politics with the destiny of the state.
He, however, noted that his administration will remain resolute to emplace good governance despite the precarious socioeconomic situation occasioned by the COVID-19 pandemic which has ravaged the global economy.
The Governor said: “Let me recall that on assumption of Office in 2017, I assured you all that we would provide the right leadership and good governance. This we have done over the years despite the precarious social and economic conditions that have disrupted national and global Developmental Action Plan and goals.
“Without doubt, we have remained undeterred and resolute in providing a lasting legacy as crafted in our REDEEMED development agenda.”
He further stated that the organised labour in the state has consistently remained the chief developmental partner of his administration since February 2017.
More so, he affirmed that his administration and organised labour have always met under different fora designed to identify and address areas of possible tension and disagreement, which he said has resulted in remarkable industrial harmony and peace in the State
