Makinde, in the statement, said that he gave the approval in a memo signed on June 14, 2024, in exercise of the powers conferred on him by Section 19 (Cap 28) Law of Oyo State 2000 as amended.
The governor congratulated Olakulehin and prayed that his tenure will birth greater developments in Ibadan and Oyo State as a whole.
