Committee, SDPIC, constituted by Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, Ondo
State Governor immediately after winning the November 26th, 2016 Governorship
Election in the state has been unveiled.
The
Blueprint, which the Governor described as a
" Compendium of Recommendations for the Administration of All
Sectors as Guide for Governance", " a veritable template through
which viability of programmes is measured" ," a check list "
and" scientific guide which approximates the visions of serious leaders
" was unveiled in a short ceremony at the International Centre
For Culture and Events, (The Dome), Akure.
The
Deputy Governor, Alfred Agboola Ajayi, who was the Chairman of the Steering
Committee in his welcome address thanked the Governor for the confidence
reposed in him and other members of the committee to serve at such a crucial time in the life of the State.
He
further explained that, it was the avowed commitment of Governor Oluwarotimi
Akeredolu to transform the lives of the good people of Ondo State, which
preceded his 2016 electoral victory has been the driving force.
The
Strategic Development and Policy Implementation Committee comprised 251 men and
women of enviable records and outstanding experience in their chosen
careers. The committee was divided into twelve Sub-Committees to transform
the five Cardinal campaign programmes christened " Programmes of
Change" with the acronym- JMPPR:
J-
Job Creation Through Agriculture, Entrepreneurship and Industrialization
M-
Massive Infrastructure Development and Maintenance
P-
Provision of Functional Education and
Technical Growth
P-Provision
of Accessible and Qualitative Health Care and Social Services Delivery &
R-
Rural Development and Extension Services
The
above are to be transformed into
concrete action plans of the Government.
The
Governor took time to extol virtues and commitments of members thanking them
for abandoning their private businesses for this onerous state assignment.
He
emphasized the significance of planning.
"
We recognize the significance of planning for the realization of any aspiration
towards real development.
"
We are convinced that there can be no impactful strides taken by any Government
without adequate planning", he said.
The
Governor also revealed that he made solemn
pledge to the people that their welfare was going to be the directive
principle of his government. He therefore directed all state functionaries to
adopt the development plan to effect positive change in the life of the people.
With
this, Governor Akeredolu may have finally cleared the minds of few people in the state who
still doubt his good intention and clear headedness towards providing good governance and credible leadership for
the State.
The
last time Ondo State had a development plan was during Dr Olusegun Agagu's
administration and it was called Roadmap to Progress.
