On August 27, 2024, five Nigerian states—Osun, Anambra, Kogi, Edo, and Delta—celebrated their 33rd anniversary, marking the day they were created by former military Head of State, General Ibrahim Babangida, in 1991. The anniversary provided an opportunity for these states to reflect on their achievements over the years and outline their visions for the future.

Osun State: A Commitment to Collective Growth

Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, took the opportunity to acknowledge the progress the state has made since its creation, particularly in areas like infrastructure, education, and healthcare. He commended the founding fathers for their vision and urged all stakeholders—including traditional and religious leaders, civil servants, artisans, and entrepreneurs—to continue contributing to the state’s development.

Governor Adeleke emphasized the collective responsibility of governance, stating, “As we celebrate the birth of Osun State today, we must also look to the future with renewed determination, as the work of building a greater Osun is ongoing.” He reiterated his administration’s commitment to transparency, dedication, and accountability in driving the state forward.

Anambra State: A Focus on Livability and Security

In Anambra State, Governor Chukwuma Soludo highlighted the contributions of non-indigenes to the state’s development, particularly in enhancing security and making the state a more livable and smart city. He stressed the importance of collaboration with all residents, regardless of origin, to achieve these goals.

Governor Soludo also addressed financial concerns, clarifying that his administration has no intention of borrowing excessively to fund the state’s budget. He emphasized a prudent approach to borrowing, stating, “We cannot borrow for consumption; if we want to borrow, we will borrow for bankable projects and programmes that will add value, not just for today but for the generations unborn.”
