This governor, OGD, touched our lives
"As Ogun State clocks 40, while wishing the sons, daughters and residents of the State well, it would be incomplete if one does not say something on the administration of the longest served Governor, Otunba Gbenga Daniel who for 8years opened up the once upon a time civil service State to a growing economic hub".
"One of the major cardinal points of OGD administration was to liberate and empower Ogun people through human capital development and massive employment opportunities which laid an everlasting basic foundation towards the development of the State".
Those were the words of some Ogun State Youth who came to present a portrait to acknowledge the good works of Otunba Gbenga Daniel during his 8 years as the governor of Ogun State.
The Youth under the aegis of " Ogun Youth for good governance" enumerated the projects below as some of the Laudable programmes and projects that touched the people of Ogun State directly.

@Kingwax; are you aware that the latest NUC rating still rated your so called ineptitude TASUED far above Olabisi Onabanjo University? Rather than hatred induced criticism, learn to appreciate good strides.

KINGwax007:
no be only NUC.

TASUED bawo. Besides, its jes for political points. It is clearly not needed. Did u knw how much he owed those schools in terms of salaries and disbursements?

It is impossible for the state to budget millions every year for these mini schools that acted as real standard universities.

TAAUED is supposed to be under OOU, and the college of education is supposed to be a college of education.

Mind u, I was never an indigene of ijebu, neither was I a student of OOU.
