“To obtain/collate information on movable and immovable assets of the state government

“This composition of this committee stems from my desire to ensure a proper mix of various citizens with first-hand knowledge of the state of affairs in this state. You are selected because I know you have deep knowledge of our state and the aspirations of our people. You are also all fully aware of our five-point agenda, its making and the ideals that underlie our governance philosophy.

“Our approach must be practical and down to earth. Be aware as you have been that Osun is a special case demanding unique solutions. Your task is bigger than ensuring a seamless transition in partnership with the team from the side of the outgoing state government; I expect robust innovations and out-of-the-box ideas on how best to hit the ground running by November.

“The people of Osun State expect so much from us as they are passing through very difficult moments. They have entrusted us with the enormous task of reviving our dear state to genuinely serve their aspirations and attend to their needs.
