Ondo state deputy governor and flag bearer of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) has assured the citizenry of friendly, responsive governance with purposeful leadership.
Giving the assurance over the weekend at Ore, Odigbo local government area of the state, Agboola Ajayi, said he would review downward tuitions of all state-owned tertiary institutions, and that the maximum any student would pay is N50, 000.
He dismissed the N10, 000 reduction in tuitions announced by the All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu as a ruse, saying he was jolted by the promise by ZLP to review downward tuitions of higher institutions owned by the state.
The ZLP standard bearer stated that if voted into power, his administration would turn around the fortune of civil servants in the state.
He said: “We will make Ondo civil service work because we have brilliant sons and daughters. We are going to design Civil Service Revolving Financial Scheme, which would provide the opportunity for workers in the state to access loans to build houses.”
“It will be managed by the civil servants and office of the governor for easy accessibility. They will be given sufficient loans that would be enough to build homes of their choice.
“Likewise, our retirees and old people would be taken care of through a scheme we tagged Irorun Arugbo (aged convenience) The programme would allow all aged to check their BP and enjoy recreational games.”
While reacting to a statement credited to Governor Akeredolu that he (Agboola) was inexperienced for the seat of governor,the deputy governor said: “I am a home-based politician. I am familiar with the challenges of our people. I am the most qualified to be the governor of Ondo state.”
