Governor Ademola Adeleke has directed the board and management of Osun State College of Health Technology, Ilesa to stop further processing of a public private partnership deal on the college's land. The governor's action was predicated on a review of the proposed agreement between the college and the private sector partner which was considered unfair and against the best interest of the college and the state. The governor then directed the board and the management of the college to discontinue the proposed PPP deal while the government looked inward to address the accommodation needs of the college. After the recent Sally Tibbot incident, Governor Adeleke has further instructed agencies, parastatals and tertiary institutions to beware of legal agreements and proposals that are injurious to their institutions and the state at large. Signed: Mallam Olawale Rasheed  Spokesperson to the State Governor.

Governorship seat is a huge responsibility and the measure of capacity is ...

Osun State ruling party, the Accord has queried the silence of Bola Oyebamiji of the All Progressive Congress (APC) over the 30 questions posed to him by the state Government Media Centre, describing the attempt to evade the questions as both  “a confession of guilt and acceptance of defeat” In a statement issued on Friday morning, the party harshly criticised Mr Oyebamiji for dogding his past and his records of state service documented in government archives, declaring that “any candidate dogding serious questions about his service records is not fit to govern Osun state. “The AMBO Media asked Governor Adeleke 18 questions. Verifiable answers were provided within hours. The Government Media Centre then raised 30 questions, 72 hours have passed and Mr Oyebamiji is still silent. “Our governorship candidate, Governor Adeleke has also reeled out more than 30 achievements in various sectors of the state economy. Our upgraded Five Point Agenda was also released by Mr Governo...
