Historic Appointment of First Female SSG Overshadowed by Low Cabinet Parity in Oyo First Term

Historic Appointment of First Female SSG Overshadowed by Low Cabinet Parity in Oyo First Term

As the first term reached its conclusion in May 2023, the final review of the state’s executive structure highlighted a persistent gender imbalance.  Despite the administration's rhetoric of inclusion, the composition of the State Executive Council had not changed significantly since its inauguration, with women holding only the portfolios for Women Affairs and Local Government/Chieftaincy Matters for the majority of the term.   Throughout 2021 and 2022, the administration focused on diversifying its appointments within boards and agencies. Several women were appointed to the management teams of the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) and the Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM), where they took on roles in planning, research, and standard assurance.  The term’s most significant milestone occurred in late 2019 and early 2020. Shortly after his inauguration, the Governor fulfilled a major symbolic promise by appointing Mrs. Olubamiwo Adeosun as the first female Secretary to the State Government (SSG) in Oyo State's history. This was followed by the appointment of two female commissioners to the inaugural cabinet.   These early actions were seen as a signal of a new era for women in governance; however, as the term progressed, the momentum for further high-level female appointments slowed, leaving the administration with a "historic but limited" record on gender inclusion as it prepared for the 2023 transition.

Public Asset Declaration: Promise Made, Method Questioned

Public Asset Declaration: Promise Made, Method Questioned

Governor Seyi Makinde fulfilled his campaign promise to declare his assets publicly on July 15, 2019, shortly after assuming office on May 29, 2019.  At the Code of Conduct Bureau office in Ibadan, he released details of his asset declaration form (OYSE/2019/001) showing a net worth of approximately N48.15 billion in companies, N2.62 billion in properties (including nine buildings in Nigeria, two in the United States, and one in South Africa), and cash holdings of N234.7 million as of May 28, 2019. Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde However, the manner of declaration drew scrutiny from anti-corruption advocates. Rather than releasing the actual asset declaration document itself, Makinde's media aide issued details through a press statement, a method criticized by civil society groups as falling short of genuine public accountability.  A 2021 analysis noted that while predecessors like former President Umar Yar'Adua and human rights expert Chidi Odinkalu had published actual copies of their declarations for public verification, Makinde's approach mirrored the contested style employed by President Muhammadu Buhari.  At the end of his first term in May 2023, Makinde declared that his net worth had declined by 10–12 percent, though without releasing the updated declaration document publicly.

Security Equipment Purchase: Promise Kept

Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to purchase modern equipment and logistics for security agencies to fight crime was fulfilled during his first term.  On December 14, 2020, barely 18 months into his administration, the governor launched 33 pick-up vehicles and 396 motorcycles for the Western Nigeria Security Network, code-named “Amotekun”, in what marked a significant commitment to the state's security architecture.  Gov. Seyi makinde of Oyo State, seen testing the functionality of one of the launched vehicles The 33 vehicles were distributed across all 33 local government areas, while the 396 motorcycles were deployed to wards across the state to enhance operational coverage. Some of the resources distributed to the Amotekun Corp in December 2020 Beyond the Amotekun fleet, the administration's security equipment procurement extended to other law enforcement agencies.  Between 2019 and 2023, the government provided operational vehicles to the Nigeria Police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), and Operation Burst, alongside communication equipment including walkie-talkies with state-wide coverage, steel helmets, bulletproof jackets, combat boots, and CCTV cameras linked to a Security Control Room.  Additional Vehicles donated to the Amotekun Corps by Gov. Seyi Makinde By 2022, an additional 100 operational vehicles were handed over to Oyo Amotekun Corps to further facilitate security operations across the state.   This systematic approach to equipping security agencies demonstrates that the promise to purchase modern equipment and logistics for crime-fighting was delivered comprehensively during the first term.

Makinde's Security Control Room Lives Up to Campaign Promise

Governor Seyi Makinde's commitment to set up a Security Control Room was fulfilled during his first term, with the facility officially commissioned and operational by mid-2020.  The expanded and refurbished State Security Control Room, located at the Oyo State Security Trust Fund Headquarters in Onireke, Ibadan, was inaugurated on June 17, 2020, less than a year into his administration.  The facility was not built from scratch; rather, Governor Makinde inherited a previous control room at Iyaganku Police Area Command and significantly expanded and upgraded it, incorporating modern technological infrastructure to enhance security coordination across the state. Gov. Seyi Makinde during a visit to the Control Room The Control Room emerged as a comprehensive security hub integrating multiple operational platforms. It houses the Oyo State City Watch Project, which enables real-time monitoring and response to security incidents; the Citizens' Emergency toll-free line (615), which had been procured by the previous administration but left non-operational until Makinde's team activated it; and the Oyo State Crime Alert Platform, accessible through both mobile application and the state government website, allowing citizens to report crimes and emergencies directly to security operatives.  The Control Room The facility also coordinates CCTV camera networks installed across strategic locations in the state, with live feeds enabling rapid response to criminal activities.  By 2022, the facility was recommissioned following further expansion and refurbishment, signaling sustained investment in the infrastructure. The Security Control Room thus represents a tangible fulfillment of the promise, serving as the operational nerve center for coordinating multi-agency security responses in the state.
