Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, on Monday urged political appointees and public servants in the state to redouble their efforts in the closing months of his second term to ensure the administration leaves a lasting legacy.

The governor gave the charge while swearing in Dr Taiwo Ladipo as a commissioner, urging him to regard his appointment as another opportunity to serve the state diligently.

This was contained in a statement issued by the governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Sulaimon Olanrewaju, in Ibadan, the state capital.

Ladipo, a former Commissioner for Health who, until his latest appointment, served as the Permanent Secretary in charge of General Administration, has been deployed to the Ministry of Establishments and Training.
