The governor in a New Year’s broadcast said his government was poised to surpass the target it has for the development of the state.
Aregbesola also pledged that ongoing road construction and rehabilitation projects would continue while new ones would commence where necessary.
Recounting happenings in 2014, the governor pointed out that the year was one with unprecedented financial challenges, saying allocation from the Federation Account dipped to less than 25 per cent of what the state used to get.
He said: “The year 2014 witnessed an unmatched upsurge in sectarian violence and wanton destruction of lives and property in some states in the northern part of the country.
“This is most regrettable. I will like to express our heart-felt condolence to the government and people of the states affected.”
“I want to call on you all to be vigilant and security conscious. Please, report all suspicious activities and strange behaviours capable of undermining security of lives to the police, security agencies and other relevant authorities.
“We look forward to the New Year with hope and courage. We shall do everything possible to ensure we are not slowed down in any way by the inclement financial weather.”
