The governor of Oyo state, Abiola Ajimobi, says managing the state is
difficult and tasking. He said this when he spoke at the 2017
Inter-Faith service of the state government held at the government house
in Ibadan, the state capital yesterday January 4th.
“Maintenance of our infrastructure and executing new ones have been
extremely difficult. Oyo State is a big state. Ibadan alone is bigger
than seven states and to govern Oyo State is a big responsibility with
big problem and difficult to manage.
Our IGR is still abysmally low and allocations from
federal allocations continue to dwindle. Over 50% of our IGR is from
PAYEE and our average monthly allocation from FG is N2.5bn while
salaries, subventions, pensions, overhead cost and allowances still
stand at about N5.2bn. We need survival strategies to block loopholes, renewed
IGR drive and restructuring of the public and civil service for optimal
performance so that the government will meet its obligations to the
people" he said
