Mr. Ajimotokin applauded the Ondo State Governor, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu for conducting the local government election during his administration. Adding that this would enhance development at the grassroots.

 “I have no doubt that this fit would translate to rapid grassroots development with a focus on human capital, youth and women empowerment, infrastructures rejuvenation, accessible and affordable health system for the people, opening up of rural roads and empowering the local government to deliver more social services at the grassroots. These we will do as an administration and in partnership with the Ondo State Government, international organizations, and the private sector.

“We have great tasks ahead of us to achieve our goals in making lives better for our people, our administration shall from time to time embark on making bye-laws in order to strengthen the processes of decision making and also giving the citizens the opportunity to make their voices heard in the administration of Irele local government.

“However, our government shall leave no stone unturned to ensure accountability and transparency in the use of our collective resources – our allocation from the federal government and internally generated revenue (IGR) shall be put to the best use to benefit the greatest number of our people.

“On security and environmental development and sustainability, our government shall harness the primary role of the traditional council to contribute to peacebuilding, and environmental safety across their communities. We are not going to rely only on the police and other security agencies – we will improve on our support for the security agencies and we will ensure that we make security the business of everyone to alert, report and cooperate with law enforcement agents to get rid of security threats and return peace to every family and individuals.

“On workforce efficiency, our local government workers are advised to sit tight, take ownership, and improve on our social services to the people through proper implementation of government policies at the grassroots. We are going to restructure, train, retrain, and mobilize the local government workforce for improved results.

“On primary education and health, we shall make the best use of the resources available at our disposal to strengthen and reposition these sectors for improved service delivery”. He said.
