Makinde Launches Performance Delivery Compact to Measure Results in Oyo State

Oyo State Governor, ‘SeyiMakinde, has announced the launch of what he described as a Legacy Compact, also known as Oyo State’s Performance Delivery Compact, which would help the administration to measure results and successes in the next two years.

The governor gave this indication on Monday, at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), venue of the 2025 Mid-Term Leadership Retreat organised by the Oyo State Government.

According to the governor, the performance delivery compact would enable each Ministry, Department and Agency to identify three to five legacy deliverables that they can realistically complete before 2027.

It would also break the deliverables down into six-month targets to see what would be delivered by January 2026, and what would be completed by May 2027, and ensure that each target was specific, measurable,

He added that the compact would also enable the MDAs to publish the commitments as their Oyo Legacy Pledge, be prepared to stand before the public and say: “This is what we promised, this is what we delivered” and as well collaborate across ministries through Joint Compacts, especially where outcomes overlap such as infrastructure and commerce, education and youth, tourism and environment.

Makinde, who spoke on the theme: “Reflecting on progress, refining priorities and re-firing for maximum impact and legacy,” noted that the performance compacts would guide resourcing, visibility, and decision-making for the remainder of the administration, adding that they would be monitored quarterly and reviewed at the state’s Legacy Retreat in 2026.

He added that the administration has made remarkable achievements in the last two years of Omituntun 2.0, with successes in the economic sector where the state has been admitted into the World Union of Wholesale Markets courtesy of its partnership with Semmaris on the Ijaiye Food Wholesale Market, the ongoing upgrade of the Samuel LadokeAkintola Airport into an international airport and the ongoing Ibadan Circular Road, which first phase of 32km would be commissioned before the end of 2025.

The governor added that the administration has recorded remarkable successes in the education sector, where it recruited 14,000 teaching and non-teaching staff, upgraded 105 classrooms with another 36 ongoing; in the health sector where 264 Primary Health Centres have been upgraded and in the infrastructure sector, where feeder and rural roads are receiving priority attention.

Makinde, however, noted that it was time to step back and evaluate the efforts with a view to energising MDAs to finish strong as the administration moves into its last two years in office.
