Published

on

The Ogun State Government says it has ensured that all people of the State have equal access to education, health, infrastructure and justice as well as opportunities in all sectors of the State’s economy.

The State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun who stated this at the International Stakeholders Conference on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) held in Abeokuta, noted that the government had also put in place structures to ensure fair manifestation of opportunities to the people in all sectors of the economy.

“While our administration has continued to ensure equal access of opportunities for all the people of Ogun State in the area of education, health, infrastructure and justice; we have also continued to put in place structures to ensure fair manifestation of opportunities to all our people in all parts of the State and in all sectors of the economy.

“Let me say that the hosting of the just concluded tripartite town hall meetings in the three Senatorial Districts of our State in preparation of the year 2020 Budget is a demonstration of our commitment towards achieving equity and fairness among our people to achieve inputs on all that affects them,” he said.

He said in pursuit of the Goal 16 of the SDGs, his administration had initiated Fiscal Responsibility Commission, implemention of Treasury Management Solution and the establishment of the Bureau of Public Procurement to ensure prudent financial management of partners and their resources as worthy partners.

Prince Abiodun maintained that to deepen the Public-Private Sector Partnership, his administration has set up a Government Delivery Unit (GDU), to ensure that all the SDGs are fairly localised in the State’s economy and to ensure accountability on the part of government officials and agencies.

The Governor lauded the President Muhammadu Buhari administration for its Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), saying it has restored the economic growth of Nigeria by building a globally competitive economy to achieve the SDGs in the year 2030.

He said the global community has continued to demonstrate their commitment towards achieving SDGs through radical approaches by gathering professionals, experts, public officials, academics and other stakeholders across the world to crossfertilise ideas, adding that the gathering was another step towards achieving the SDGs at the State level.

Celebrating Toks Wahab … Omoluabi Eko at 54

 

 

As Tokunbo Wahab turns 54, it is only fitting to celebrate not just the years, but the man he has consistently shown himself to be—one defined by kindness, humility, and a genuine love for people.

 

Yes, he is the Honourable Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, and by every standard, he has done extremely well. His work, impact, and dedication in that office are evident for all to see. But that is not even the thrust of this write-up.

 

This is about the person.

 

A proud son of Epe in Lagos, he carries his roots with dignity and grace, reflecting the values of his heritage in the way he lives and relates with people. TKW… Omoluabi Eko—a true embodiment of character, respect, and integrity.

 

He is a man who shows up. Always willing to assist, to help, to give—without hesitation and without noise. His generosity is quiet, yet deeply impactful. His kindness is not occasional; it is who he is.

 

Those who know him closely will tell you he is incredibly accommodating. Easy to approach, easy to speak with, and always ready to make others feel comfortable, heard, and valued. There is a simplicity about him that is rare—no airs, no distance—just a calm, grounded presence.

 

He gives without announcing it. He supports without seeking recognition. He blesses lives in ways that may never be seen publicly, yet remain unforgettable to those who experience his goodwill.

 

In a world where many complicate things, he remains refreshingly simple. In a space where recognition is often chased, he chooses quiet impact. And when others might turn away, he steps forward.

 

As he marks this new chapter, we celebrate not just his life, but we also pray that God grants him many more meaningful years—years of continued service, impact, and grace to keep uplifting his people.

 

Happy 54th Birthday.
