\nA Professor of Political Science at the University of Ibadan, Dhikrullah Adewale Yagboyaju, has endorsed the governorship ambition of the Speaker of the Oyo State House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin, describing his IGBEGA OYO OMITUTUN 3.0 development plan as a practical and well-structured roadmap for governance.<\/p>\n
In an academic excerpt assessing the policy document (IGBEGA OYO OMITUTUN 3.0 Roadmap, Advancement of Oyo State), Prof. Yagboyaju, who is also the Head of Department of Political Science, U.I, said Ogundoyin\u2019s aspiration for the 2027 governorship race is anchored on a clear vision and a purposeful strategy for development.<\/p>\n
He added that the Speaker\u2019s Development Roadmap positions him not only as a prepared and capable leader, but also as a committed visionary determined to deliver meaningful and enduring progress if entrusted with the opportunity to serve.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The don emphasized that Hon. Ogundoyin\u2019s profile combines \u201cyouthful energy and vibrancy\u201d with \u201cexposure and administrative acumen gathered in the eight years as Speaker\u201d adding that his leadership experience at both state and national legislative levels positions him as a credible contender.<\/p>\n
Prof. Yagboyaju, further described the IGBEGA OYO document as more than a theoretical framework, stressing that it is \u201can articulate, broad vision, and a concrete policy framework that is accompanied by implementation plans with timelines and expected deliverables\u201d<\/p>\n
“The IGBEGA OYO (ADVANCEMENT OF OYO STATE) document is robust and it is evidently well researched”<\/p>\n
According to the don, this distinguishes the roadmap from typical policy documents that lack execution mechanisms.<\/p>\n
Highlighting the philosophy behind the plan, Prof. Yagboyaju stated that \u201cplans are not chancy or accidental, they are purposive and intentional so as to realise concrete deliverables for good living, wellness and self-actualisation for the citizens\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that the inclusion of Key Performance Indicators and a public tracking system reflects a governance model focused on accountability and measurable outcomes.<\/p>\n
The professor noted that the roadmap is built on five strategic pillars, economy, education, healthcare, security, and youth empowerment which he said align with historically proven development frameworks.<\/p>\n
“Honourable Adebo Ogundoyin, the speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly, presents himself for the governorship of the State from 2027. Predicating his aspiration on a Development Plan and a Roadmap code named IGBEGA OYO (ADVANCEMENT OF OYO STATE). Adebo Ogundoyin comes with a combined strength of youthful energy and vibrancy, as well as exposure and administrative acumen gathered in the eight years as speaker, Oyo State House of Assembly.<\/p>\n
“In addition, the young Ogundoyin is inspired by his early exposure in business management, involving innovations and engagement with the people of diverse backgrounds. Also, he has demonstrated intellectual capacity as the chairman of the conference of speakers of State Legislatures (Assemblies) in Nigeria, making him the speaking speaker of speakers, and a tested manager of an important arm of government.<\/p>\n
“Igbega Oyo (Advancement of Oyo State) Roadmap is built on five key pillars: Economy, Education, Healthcare, Security and Youth Empowerment, making the strategic action plan a resemblance of continuity in Oyo State, and a re-birth of the prominent Cardinal Programmes, which distinguished the Western Region and the Southern States in the First and Second Republics respectively”<\/p>\n
On the economy, Prof. Yagboyaju said the blueprint rightly prioritizes growth and diversification, noting that \u201cthere has hardly been a time when the economy is ranked low in the Development Agenda of any society\u201d<\/p>\n
He pointed to proposed initiatives such as agribusiness development, industrial hubs, energy security, and public-private partnerships as critical drivers of sustainable economic expansion.<\/p>\n
Speaking on education, the don stressed its central role in societal transformation, stating that \u201cthe importance of education can hardly be overstated\u201d as it \u201cenhances economic and social progress\u201d and reduces inequality, poverty, and insecurity.<\/p>\n
He commended the roadmap\u2019s focus on access to quality education, improved infrastructure, teacher development, and inclusivity.<\/p>\n
On healthcare, he reiterated the significance of wellness to productivity, noting that \u201ca healthy Oyo State would mean the wellness and happiness of the greatest number of people\u201d while warning that ill-health limits both economic output and quality of life.<\/p>\n
Prof. Yagboyaju, highlighted plans to strengthen primary healthcare, expand insurance coverage, and promote preventive health measures.<\/p>\n
Addressing security, the don described it as foundational to development, stating unequivocally that \u201cwithout security, every other aspect of life is meaningless\u201d<\/p>\n
He commended the document\u2019s emphasis on professionalism, community collaboration, technology-driven policing, and strengthened partnerships with security agencies, including the Amotekun Corps.<\/p>\n
On youth empowerment, the professor underscored the importance of harnessing Nigeria\u2019s demographic advantage, noting that with a largely youthful population, targeted investments in skills, entrepreneurship, and governance participation could yield significant dividends.<\/p>\n
He added that the Speaker\u2019s relatively young age strengthens his connection to this critical demographic.<\/p>\n
Overall, the political scientist concluded that the IGBEGA OYO 3.0 roadmap stands out as a serious governance document, combining vision with execution, and positioning Ogundoyin as a policy-driven aspirant with a clear pathway to sustainable development in Oyo State.<\/p>\n
