Oyo State Governor, Engr Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), was today sworn in for the second term in office.
Makinde was sworn in alongside his deputy, Barrister Abdulraheem Adebayo Lawal, who completed the tenure of the former deputy governor in the state, Engr Rauf Olaniyan, who was sacked from office.
Makinde took the oath of office around 10:50 am at the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium in the Oke Ado Area of Ibadan.
The Chief Judge of the state, Justice Iyabo Yerima administered the oath of office to the duo at the event, which was attended by eminent people including clerics, traditional rulers, and politicians.
In his speech, Makinde revealed the creation of the Oyo State Mobilisation Agency for Socio-Economic Development (OMASED).
According to him, the agency would be mandated to establish a public orientation and sensitisation framework into which all agencies and departments of government must key in.
This framework will ensure continuous sensitisation and enlightenment using traditional, electronic and social media.
Makinde further directed that this framework should incorporate a timetable for the enforcement of all existing traffic, waste management, and street trading laws.
