Oyo Pilots Modern Ranching at Fasola Hub, but Zonal Livestock Village Rollout Remains Unfinished

Oyo Pilots Modern Ranching at Fasola Hub, but Zonal Livestock Village Rollout Remains Unfinished

As the first term concluded in May 2023, the Fasola Agribusiness Industrial Hub stood as the primary evidence of progress. The facility had transitioned from a moribund state to an "advanced stage" of development, hosting private-sector partners like FrieslandCampina WAMCO, which committed to establishing a dairy value chain.   Reports from late 2022 highlighted the construction of livestock-specific infrastructure at Fasola, including grazing fields and plans for meat processing facilities. Additionally, the Oyo State-IITA Youth Agribusiness Incubation Park Centre in Aawe was resuscitated, featuring goat and sheep pens (100-capacity each) and poultry pens (2,000-capacity) as a training model for young "agropreneurs."  Earlier in 2021, the administration focused on the legal and institutional framework by enacting the Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency (OYSADA) Law. This agency became the vehicle for coordinating livestock investments. During this period, the government successfully signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with international livestock firms to manage components of the proposed villages.  However, construction at the Eruwa and Akufo hubs, which were also intended to host livestock clusters, faced significant bureaucratic and logistical delays, with work only intensifying in the final year of the term. The journey began in late 2019 and early 2020 with the passage of the Oyo State Open Rearing and Grazing Regulation Law. To support the implementation of this law, the government promised to provide alternative "livestock villages" to house herders and their animals.   While the vision was integrated into the broader "Agribusiness Hub" master plan, the actual physical establishment of these villages across multiple zones did not meet the full scale envisioned in the 2019 roadmap. Consequently, by the May 2023 handover, the state had successfully piloted the model at Fasola but had yet to replicate it across the other seven planned locations.

Seyi Makinde Breaks Tree Planters Association Formation Promise

Seyi Makinde Breaks Tree Planters Association Formation Promise

Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to form a Tree Planters Association in Oyo State during his first term (May 2019-May 2023) was never executed.  The manifesto explicitly listed "Formation of Tree Planters Association in the state" as a specific deliverable under forest reserves and afforestation initiatives .   While the administration launched tree planting campaigns, notably a 500,000-tree planting initiative in May 2021 and various afforestation drives, no Tree Planters Association was formally established, registered, or inaugurated.  Tree planting remained a government-led activity rather than a structured, independent association of tree planters as promised. The promise was broken.

Seyi Makinde's PWD Census Promise: Unfinished Business at End of First Term

Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to conduct a census/data collection for People Living with Disabilities (PWD) during his first term (May 2019-May 2023) remained incomplete by the time his first administration ended.   Instead of conducting the promised census, the administration established the Oyo State Agency for Persons With Disabilities (OYSAPD) in December 2022, appointing PWD representatives into government and creating targeted employment initiatives for persons with disabilities.   While these actions demonstrated commitment to PWD welfare, they did not fulfill the specific campaign pledge to conduct a census or comprehensive data collection on the PWD population in the state.

Seyi Makinde's Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly: Promise Partially Fulfilled Through Existing Framework

Seyi Makinde's Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly: Promise Partially Fulfilled Through Existing Framework

Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to establish a Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly during his first term (May 2019-May 2023) was not executed as a standalone new program, but rather integrated into the existing Oyo State Health Insurance Agency (OYSHIA) framework established by his predecessor.   By the end of his first term, there was no dedicated "Health Insurance Scheme for the Elderly" branded as such. Instead, elderly citizens and retirees were enrolled into the broader community-based health insurance scheme operated through OYSHIA.  By March 2023, as his first term was concluding, pensioners and senior citizens acknowledged receiving medical support through OYSHIA, though this represented an extension of an existing system rather than fulfillment of the promised standalone scheme.  Governor Makinde's healthcare strategy prioritized community-based health insurance enrollment across all demographics rather than creating age-specific programs.   While the administration's commitment to elderly welfare through OYSHIA enrollment was evident, the promise of a dedicated health insurance scheme for the elderly, implying a distinct, separate initiative, remained unfulfilled in substance during the first term.  The promise was absorbed into a broader inclusive health insurance approach rather than delivered as a distinct elderly-focused program.
