Instead of traveling abroad, the governor wants officials to consider using virtual meetings to attend and participate in international business and investment events. This way, they can still be involved without having to physically go to another country.

The governor's directive is clear: no more foreign trips for top officials unless there is a direct emergency that needs the governor's authorization. This decision was made during a meeting that focused on decisions related to the preparation of the 2024 budget.
During the meeting, Governor Adeleke emphasized the importance of being careful with how money is spent. He wants the government to prioritize critical projects that will benefit the people of the state. Excessive spending on recurrent expenses and overheads should be avoided.

In addition to the ban on foreign trips, the governor also shared some exciting news. On Thursday, October 26, he will unveil his administration's 100-billion-naira infrastructure plan. This plan will focus on improving roads, healthcare, water supply, housing, and other important areas that will make the lives of the state's residents better. It's clear that the governor is determined to make wise financial decisions and prioritize the needs of the people. By making personal sacrifices and focusing on critical projects, Osun State can overcome its financial challenges and improve the lives of its residents.
