Oyebanji said that securing the citizens, building enduring Infrastructure and solving the perennial epileptic power supply to the state would form the focal areas of concentration.
“My vision is to have a society where everybody will prosper,” he said while speaking in a chat with journalists in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday.
He also assured that his administration would be transparent and work hard to build strong institutions, rather than strong men to help our people.
