Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has acknowledged key policy initiatives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, particularly the push for state police and the introduction of the Federal Government’s student loan scheme.
Makinde gave the recognition during an interview with ARISE News on Friday, while assessing the performance of the Tinubu administration and its policies across different sectors.
Speaking on the proposed establishment of state police, the governor commended Tinubu for advancing the initiative, describing it as an important step towards decentralising the country’s security system.
“The President has done well with the formation of the state police,” Makinde said.
The Oyo governor, who has consistently advocated state policing, said states should be allowed to establish their own police structures based on their capacity and readiness.
He also acknowledged the Federal Government’s student loan scheme, recognising it as a step in addressing the financial challenges facing students seeking access to higher education.
He described interventions in some areas of education as movement in the right direction, while maintaining that broader reforms were necessary to achieve lasting improvements.
