Senator Ademola Adeleke has said that he met non-functional schools, health centres, infrastructure, and civil service when he took over as the governor of Osun state.

Adeleke said this during an interview with the Tribune in commemoration of his first year as the Osun state governor while he also spoke on the achievements of his administration so far.

On his experience governing Osun State for the past year, he said it has been quite challenging because there has been a lot of hard work and several challenges to address.

“I inherited a rundown system, a state where virtually nothing was working. The rot we saw outside was worse than what we met inside,” Adeleke said. 

“When I said nothing is working, I mean it. Schools, health centres, infrastructure, sports, civil service were not working. The white house, the office of the governor, was like a black house. 

“The Government House was like a shit house despite reported rehabilitation before our assumption of office.” 

Senator Adeleke added that the government quarters were looted and vandalized as his administration met huge and paralysing debt, workers were owed salaries and pensions. 

He said that the public service was turned upside down, into a zone of confusion and he largely started all over from the scratch, a year ago. 

Adeleke said the last one year has been a period of reconstruction across all facets of Osun society.
