The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Owo local government area of Ondo State has lauded the state Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, for his developmental strides across the state.

The CAN at a prayer meeting for the state and the Governor held at the Chapel of Epiphany within the Governor’s residence in Owo, his home town, said Akeredolu has brought back live into the education sector of the state which was near comatose before his assumption of office.

The Chairman of CAN in Owo, Osuolale Olowoporoku who spoke after a prayer session, said Akeredolu has made public primary schools attractive and conducive for academic activities.

Olowoporoku said the fear associated with public primary schools by parents has been taken away by the Governor through the perimeter fencing of the schools and reconstruction of classrooms.

He also appreciated Akeredolu over the massive road projects scatters across the state, adding that his administration will be noted as the most performing in terms of road construction.

The CAN Chairman, however, sought the support of the people of Owo and the state at large for the Governor, saying that the Governor has shown passion and sincerity to taking the state to its eldorado.

Responding, Governor Akeredolu appreciated CAN for deeming it fit to organise such prayer meeting for the state and the country at large. He assured the religious body that his administration will always do its best to develop the state and fulfill the yearning and aspirations of the people.

The Governor stressed that the development of the state and the welfare of the people have always remained his priority. He, however, urged everyone to continue to pray for the government and the state at large.

At the prayer meeting, the CAN led the prayer for the state, the government and the Governor. Prayer was also led on the 2019 elections.
