control greed, embezzlement or

mismanagement of resources, with

the passion to make life meaningful

for the c i t izens and other

inhabitants.

The Governor, who was

represented by the Secretary to the

State Government of Osun, Prince

Wole Oyebamiji, declared: “the

recognition of our modest efforts at

giving the best life to our people in

our small space in South-West

Nigeria, through quality service and

equitable distribution of resources,

is highly encouraging.”

In his remarks, the Executive

Governor of the State of Osun, Mr.

Adegboyega Oyetola, said the State

of Osun really deserved the

NADIM awards, as the people of

Osun were guided by the concept of

hard work, service, commitment,

honesty, good neighborliness and

character.
