Ogun State Government is to introduce more strategic financial reforms targeted at boosting revenue generation and aiding developmental projects in the state
Chief Economic Adviser to Governor,
Dapo Okubadejo revealed this during his screening as a Commissioner-nominee by the State House of Assembly on Thursday
Okubadejo expressed confidence that the strategic financial reforms would consolidate the achievements of ISEYA Mantra of the Abiodun's administration
Recounting the financial status of the State since the emergence of the present administration in 2019, the former commissioner posited that its revenue drive had been greatly improved in spite of the economic challenges occasioned by the shortfall in the price of petroleum in the global market, post-COVID challenges, and an unstable exchange rate, amongst other indexes.
Appraising the financial ingenuity of the Prince Dapo Abiodun led administration, Okubadejo added that more strategies would be put in place to give more operational strength to the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
He added that the framework would further boost the confidence of stakeholders in the ability of the government to deliver, thereby attracting more local and foreign investment opportunities to complement the booming industrial clusters.
The lawmakers applauded the nomination of the former Commissioner, describing him as a round peg in a round hole, with the capabilities that would bring about consistent financial policies.
They admonished the nominee to justify the confidence reposed in him through an improved commitment to quality service delivery that would ensure seamless financial policy implementation for the overall socio-economic development of the State.
