As a promoter of credible and functioning governance at the grassroots level, I’m writing to urge you to ensure that the reinstated local government chairmen and executives in Osun State announce their annual budgets immediately.
This is crucial for transparency, accountability, and effective governance.
I don’t want to dwell on the controversies of the issues that led to your party becoming the ruling party in all the local governments in our state. I am more concerned on how our rural dwellers would be the ultimate beneficiaries of the outcomes.
To move forward, it is essential that the reinstated chairmen and executives prioritize transparency and accountability. Announcing their annual budgets will help achieve this goal.
Here are some key areas to focus on:
– Infrastructure Development: Allocate funds for critical infrastructure projects, such as road construction, water supply, and public buildings.
– Public Health and Sanitation: Ensure sufficient funding for healthcare services and environmental health initiatives.
– Education and Human Capital Development: Prioritize education and skills development programs, including vocational training and adult education.
– Social Protection and Community Development: Allocate funds for social assistance programs, child protection services, and community development initiatives.
– Economic Development and Job Creation: Support small and medium-sized enterprises, agricultural extension services, and rural infrastructure development.
By announcing their annual budgets, the reinstated chairmen and executives can demonstrate their commitment to transparency, accountability, and effective governance.
This will help restore public trust in your party and promote development in Osun State.
I hope you’ll take this request seriously and ensure that the reinstated chairmen and executives announce their annual budgets without delay.
Sincerely,
Kolade Ismail, a politician, writes from Ode-Omu in Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State.
