Abiodun Urges Ogun Residents to Embrace 2025 with Unity and Determination

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has assured residents that his administration will continue to promote growth, equity, and resilience through sustainable development strategies.
In his New Year address delivered on Wednesday, the governor called on the people of Ogun State to put aside their differences and maintain peaceful coexistence for the progress of the state and the nation.
He emphasized the importance of collective efforts, urging residents to approach the new year with renewed determination to contribute to societal growth.
“As we journey together in 2025, let us continue to come together as one, with a renewed sense of purpose, regardless of our differences, and work towards the betterment of our beloved state.
“This New Year is an opportunity for us to reflect and remind ourselves of our responsibilities to each other as we are determined to start anew in the New Year.
“I wish to enjoin you that as we step into this New Year, let us do so with renewed hope, determination, and more focus. Let us strive to make Ogun State a beacon of progress, development, and prosperity,” he said.
Governor Abiodun highlighted the achievements of his administration, including road construction, affordable housing, human capital development, youth and women empowerment, qualitative healthcare, and food security. He also noted significant advancements in transportation, security, education, and energy.
“In the energy sector, with the recent constitutional amendments removing the provision of electricity from the exclusive to the concurrent list, we have passed the Ogun State Electricity Law.
“Consequently, the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has approved the transfer of regulatory oversight to the Ogun State Electricity Commission (OGERC), thus allowing Ogun State to regulate the generation, transmission, and distribution of power,” he added.
The governor explained that his administration leveraged the state’s economic potential and comparative advantages to build a resilient system capable of adapting to challenges. He credited the ISEYA mantra for driving rapid growth across all sectors.
Acknowledging the need for further work, Abiodun pledged to address pressing issues such as economic challenges, unemployment, and inadequate social amenities.
While reiterating his commitment to inclusivity, focus, and deliberategovernance, the governor assured residents that his administration would continue to deliver on its promises and sustain the ISEYA mantra in the new year.
“Despite numerous challenges, both as a government and as individuals, God’s mercies have seen us all through. It is my sincere prayer that this new year brings improved living conditions for all of us and ushers in further development for our dear state.
“This past year has been a testament to our collective resolve to build the Ogun State of our dreams. Our state has weathered both literal and metaphorical storms but has emerged stronger.
“Through acts of kindness, community initiatives, and the tireless work of our public servants, we have proven that when we stand united, no challenge is too great to overcome. As we welcome the new year, we reaffirm our commitment to fostering progress and prosperity for every resident of our state.
“Let us embrace this year with renewed hope, striving to achieve even greater milestones in terms of infrastructural development and individual prosperity. As a responsive and responsible government, our vision for prosperity is rooted in a robust and diversified economy capable of navigating current challenges,” he concluded.
