He appealed to residents and citizens of Osun to always observe COVID-19 protocols so as to curb the spread of the virus in the state.

“Osun piloted the first community based road maintenance system in the country and we have engaged 28 road maintenance groups with about 300 persons to carry out routine maintenance of rehabilitated roads.”
Oyetola disclosed that the government had set aside N1.5 billion in the 2021 budget for the engagement of youths in agriculture, mining, ICT, culture and tourism and commerce among others.
