The Chairman of the Governing Board and Pro- Chancellor, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko, Dr Tunji Abayomi, has commended the strides recorded by the administration of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.
Abayomi spoke with TheNiche in Akure, the state capital, yesterday.
He said that Akeredolu has performed in all sectors of the economy within three and half years of his first term in office.
The lawyer and human rights activist pleaded with the people of the state to give the governor their support in the October 10 governorship election, saying that there was no need substituting a performing governor.
His words: “My standing is very simple. I am supporting Akeredolu based on objective assessment. I believe he has tried for the people of Ondo State.
“Looking at his achievements in terms of road construction, promotion of agriculture, facilitation of medical services, largely innovations – for example modular refineries for bitumen”, he said.
Abayomi also commended the efforts of the governor in stabilizing the Adekunle Ajasin University as the institution was in a dire need of massive intervention.
According to him, through these conscious efforts of the Governor, the University retained its status as one of the best state’s run university in the country.
He explained that the Akeredolu led administration is doing all it can to ensure the full repositioning of the University and as such there was no need in changing a wiining team.
