Earlier today, we commissioned the Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA) office in Ibadan. This institution was established in fulfilment of our promise to create a framework to enforce existing environmental and road traffic laws amongst others. Our goal is to ensure a safe and secure environment that will support sustainable development in our dear State.
Let me once again thank the Chairperson, Honourable Justice Aderonke Aderemi (retd), all members of the OYRLEA team and the security agencies who are working together to achieve the goal of a safer and more secure Oyo State.
So many unrealistic things happened in this movie but it was fun to watch, so intense. One of the movies I still watch over and over again and never get bored
Yesterday, we met with stakeholders of the LAUTECH Teaching Hospital to discuss their grievances. After listening to them, I assured them that we would pay the outstanding minimum wage and promotion arrears by mid November this year.
We will also constitute a committee to look at the other issues raised. As I said during the engagement, our administration remains committed to working for the good people of Oyo State until our last day in office.
"Each state should get โฆ250bn from NLNG dividends, but FG has spent it. They said they won't pay state governors until after the 2027 elections. Are elections more important than development?"

17.9 Million Nigerians Fall Into Multidimensional Poverty In Three Years, The Worldโs Largest Increase โ UN Report
Nigeria recorded the worldโs largest increase in multidimensional poverty, with 17.9 million additional people falling into poverty between 2021 and 2024, according to the 2026 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index.
The report, published by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative, showed a reversal of Nigeriaโs progress in poverty reduction between 2018 and 2021.
Nigeria recorded a higher increase than Afghanistan, where 5.3 million additional people became multidimensionally poor during its latest assessment period.
โIn absolute terms, the largest increase in the number of poor people is seen in Nigeriaโฆ 17.9 million people became multidimensionally poor,โ the report stated.
The index measures deprivation beyond income, including access to healthcare, education, electricity, clean water, sanitation, adequate housing and nutrition.
According to the reportโs harmonised comparison, Nigeriaโs multidimensional poverty rate rose from 33 per cent in 2021 to 38.7 per cent in 2024, while the number of affected people increased from 72.21 million to 90.07 million.
A separate 2024 national estimate put the number of multidimensionally poor Nigerians at 113.32 million, representing 48.7 per cent of the population. The figure uses a different estimation method and is not directly comparable with the historical comparison.
The report identified Kebbi, Yobe and Sokoto among the states with the highest poverty burdens, while Lagos recorded the lowest Multidimensional Poverty Index value.
Globally, 1.2 billion people were living in acute multidimensional poverty, including 617 million children under 18.
The findings highlight Nigeriaโs challenge in achieving the United Nationsโ goal of reducing poverty in all its forms by at least half by 2030.
