Akure—GOVERNOR Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo State yesterday reviewed the 40 years of the creation of the state and declared that it has done well.

He paid tributes to leaders, past and present, whose serial exertions, agitation and movement led to the creation of the state.

In a state-wide broadcast to mark the 40th  anniversary, the governor said the state has posted greater accomplishments.

He said: “Given the vicissitude of fortunes that Ondo State has witnessed in its 40-year existence so far, I believe, like many indigenes of the state, that we have done well.

“We have not only bench marked programmes and projects for other states in the health sector, urban renewal, education, wealth creation and other sectors we have succeeded in making Ondo State an unfolding destination of choice for entertainment and medical tourism.”
