Osogbo—Governor of Osun state, Mr Rauf Aregbesola, has called on well-meaning Nigerians to come to the support of governments at all tiers in the face of the present economic challenges the nation is going through.

Aregbesola made this call during a presentation of drugs to the state government by Akol Pharmaceutical Company at the Executive Chamber hall of the Governor’s Office in Osogbo.

The governor said the call is necessary because the nation is going through a lot of hardship, which require that supports should come in other that government may meet its obligations to the citizens.

He stated that the situation is so bad that what the Federal government used to take from the federation accounts as its own monthly revenue about 18 months ago is even more than what is being shared by the three tiers of government.

“What this company did is a demonstration of hands of fellowship. We celebrate this because we need such support and we will appreciate it as this will also encourage other donors to follow the footstep of Akol Pharmacy.”
