As part of the effort of the current administration in the State of Osun aimed at improving the social well-being of the people of the state, the state governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, has concluded an arrangement to empower no fewer than five thousand widows across the thirty one local government council areas, including the Area Office, of the State.

The arrangement marks another of the Aregbesola’s administration’s policies that are meant to improve the welfare of the people under the programme to be called “O’Widow”, where the women, who have lost their husbands in the state, would be catered for by the state government.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), Honourable Abdullahi Binuyo, declared that the state government has completed the statistical evaluation of the beneficiaries of the proposed programme.

Binuyo, who doubles as the chairman of the public presentation of a socio-volunteer group, seeking the re-election of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in 2014, ‘De Raufs’, in Ifelodun Local Government Council Area of the state, further stated that the State of Osun under the leadership of Ogbeni Aregbesola has been able to achieve Millennium Development Goals(MDGs) through its people-oriented policies of the present administration.

He then commended the state government’s initiative on the establishment of a garment factory that is capable of producing 5,000 garments in a day, aside the provision of 3,000 jobs to the people of the state, adding that the initiative is the first of its kind in the country.

The Aregbesola’s aide added that the governor has turned the state into construction site through his massive road construction across the length and breadth of the state.

According to him, there is no major road in the state that has not been touched or rehabilitated, while programmes like O’Meals, O’Schools, O’Uniform, OYES, O’REAP, among others have put the state ahead of other states in the federation, in terms of developmental projects.

Delivering his lecture on the occasion, the Guest Speaker and Assistant Editor (Investigation), The Nation Newspapers, Mr Adekunle Yussuf, urged other geo-political zones in the country to emulate the South-West in terms of good governance and regional integration.

Yussuf maintained that the region, since self-rule from the British colonial masters, has been known for monumental development, which started by the visionary leadership of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

The seasoned and award-winning journalist, however, disclosed that the invasion of money bag-politicians that invaded the region in early 80’s and in recent years, has caused series of setbacks for the region, which the State of Osun governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, and other governors in the region are now trying to correct.

Yussuf said: “People of the State of Osun have witnessed two different kinds of government and they have been able to differentiate between the two governments, which makes them to be wiser than before. But I want to use this medium to inform them that the money-bag politicians are still warming up and coming with their deceit, as the gubernatorial election in the state approaches. If you collect their money and you fail to do their bidding, they may attack you. What the people of the state and Nigeria as a whole should be yearning for is good governance not unrealistic constitutional amendment”.
