I sincerely appreciate His Excellency, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, Executive Governor of Ondo State, for the confidence reposed in me through my reappointment as Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Sports.

I am deeply honoured and grateful for this renewed opportunity to serve our dear Sunshine State. I do not take this confidence for granted, and I pledge to justify this appointment through hard work, dedication, integrity and tangible results.

With this renewed mandate comes an even stronger commitment to the development of sports in Ondo State. I am determined to contribute meaningfully to the discovery and nurturing of talents from the grassroots, support our young athletes, promote sports participation across communities, and create greater opportunities for our athletes to compete and excel at local, national and international levels.

We will continue to champion initiatives that promote grassroots sports development, youth empowerment, talent identification, capacity building and the growth of a sustainable sports ecosystem in Ondo State.

I look forward to working with all stakeholders in the sports sector to build on our achievements and take Ondo State sports to greater heights.
