Governor of Ondo State, His Excellency, Dr. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, has congratulated Taiwo Oyedele on his appointment as Minister of State for Finance by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the development as well-deserved and a boost to the state’s representation at the federal level.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, the governor said Oyedele’s appointment reflects his track record in fiscal policy and economic reforms.
“Mr Taiwo Oyedele’s emergence as Minister of State for Finance is a testament to his exceptional competence, professional integrity and longstanding contributions to fiscal policy and economic reforms in our country,” Aiyedatiwa said.
The governor thanked President Tinubu for what he termed the honour extended to Ondo State, noting that the appointment underscores the administration’s recognition of the state’s human capital.
“We are profoundly grateful to Mr President for once again recognising the capacity and quality of Ondo indigenes. This appointment not only affirms confidence in Mr Oyedele’s expertise but also strengthens Ondo State’s representation at the federal level,” he said.
Aiyedatiwa expressed confidence that the new minister’s experience in taxation, revenue administration and public finance would enhance Nigeria’s economic management and drive reforms.
“I am confident that his knowledge and reform-driven mindset will contribute meaningfully to strengthening our national economy, while also creating avenues for strategic collaboration that will benefit Ondo State, particularly in revenue optimisation, infrastructure financing and sustainable development,” the governor added.
He wished Oyedele a successful tenure and assured him of the support of the Ondo State Government and its people as he takes on the national assignment.
