The Ogun State Government says it has put in place a survival and sustainability Strategy, which will ensure enduring policies and programmes that are people-oriented.

The State Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Mr. Olaolu Olabimtan stated this when he and his counterpart in the Ministry of Finance, Mr. Dapo Okuboyejo received the National Economic Council Implementation Committee (NEC-IMC) delegation from Abuja at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta.

Olabimtan pointed out that the present administration by the sustainability strategy presupposes that it works with laws and not executive order which makes its programmes not open to political interference and would outlive the present government.

Olabimtan said “our policies and programmes are not subject to political interferences’’, highlighting some of the policies that have been facilitated by the administration to become law to include fiscal responsibility law, security Trust Fund law, Statistics law, Citizens Registration law and Public Procurement law, among others.
