Today, I proudly stand before you on this historic occasion of my swearing-in as the Federal Commissioner representing Ondo State at the South West Development Commission (SWDC). My heart is filled with profound gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility. This moment is not just a personal milestone but a collective triumph for the people of Ondo State and indeed the entire South West region. It represents our shared aspirations for progress, equity, and sustainable development.
I am deeply honoured to join the esteemed board of the SWDC alongside distinguished colleagues from across the southwest. I also congratulate my counterparts from the North Central Development Commission (NCDC) and the South South Development Commission (SSDC), as we take on this solemn responsibility together during today’s inauguration at the iconic Rotunda Hall of the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja.
This appointment is a call to action to bridge developmental gaps, foster collaboration, and ignite a new wave of growth in the southwest. I pledge to work tirelessly with my fellow commissioners, stakeholders, and the federal government to fulfil the SWDC mandate: advancing regional integration, driving economic prosperity, promoting environmental sustainability, and strengthening social harmony.
To my Governor, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, our political leaders, and the entire people of Ondo State both at home and in the diaspora, I express my sincere gratitude for the trust and confidence reposed in me. To my family, whose sacrifices remain my anchor, I dedicate this achievement.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
