Oyo State Deputy Governor, Barrister Abdulrahman Bayo Lawal, on Wednesday, rounded off the Omituntun 2.0 Inter-Ministerial Press Briefing, lauding the media for engaging Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in Oyo State on the deliverables of the government in the last two years of Governor ‘Seyi Makinde’s second term of office and six years of the administration.

He said, “I appreciate the media for doing a yeoman’s job, promoting activities of government in the last six years.

“All of those achievements that you have brought out have been so outstanding that we get exposed positively and we believe that it is a noble aspect that other states may in fact want to follow.

“I would like to tell you that this kind of engagement has enriched my knowledge about activities of the Press and it is taking a positive route sensitising and asking people to understand.

“So, I want to take the liberty of interacting with you to appreciate you. Your engagement with the agencies of government has grown viral all over the world. I appreciate you once again for your kind assistance.”
