Commissioners cleared by the Osun State House of Assembly on Wednesday took the oath of office as Governor Ademola Adeleke announced that he would take charge of the Ministry of Works.
At the swearing-in ceremony of the new commissioners held at the Osun Government Secretariat, Osogbo, Adeleke also said his deputy, Mr. Kola Adewusi, would be in charge of the Ministry of Sports and Special Needs.
Speaking further at the event attended by the relations, family members, and members of the Peoples Democratic Party across the state, Adeleke demanded cooperation among cabinet members.
Adeleke, who also told the appointees of the high expectations of Osun people from the administration, assured that his team would redouble efforts to deliver on his election promises.
He said, “As we all know, I am a team player. There won’t be any room for solo actors in our cabinet. You must work as a team with a common goal to make a difference in the lives of our people.
“Above all, my leadership is about due process and the rule of law. You must not cut corners. I will not compromise transparency and accountability.
“As you are coming on board, the task before us is enormous. We have a duty to turn our adversity into assets. We must re-engineer our economy, generate wealth, engage our youth, deepen our economic base, embrace the digital economy and implement our climate action agenda
