How are you? And what have you been up to?

You must have read about my recent activities on my social media accounts—especially my visits to Abuja. Remember, I promised the good people of Oyo State a better experience under Omituntun 2.0. I am happy that one of my visits directly led to our pushing for and getting the Electricity Bill 2022, passed by the Ninth Assembly, signed into law. If we had not used the window open to us before the inauguration of the Tenth Assembly, that bill would have had to go back to the floor for deliberations.

Thankfully, with the Electricity Act 2023 firmly in place as signed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we can now push for and have the Oyo State Electricity Regulatory Commission Bill passed by the Oyo State Tenth Assembly in good time. This provides a framework for private sector participation in the energy sector as we enact more policies that will make Oyo State the preferred destination for private-sector investment.

Of course, I have also been busy consulting widely to ensure that I keep to my promise of having a cabinet in place within the next two months. I ask for your support and prayers as I make the necessary decisions to move our dear state forward. As I have previously stated, those who served Oyo State well under Omituntun 1.0 will get a chance to continue their good work.
