Osun Is in Crisis, Education In Shambles - Lasun Yusuf

The Deputy speaker of the House of Representatives Hon. Lasun Yusuf has said Osun state is in a moment of crisis

He also stressed that the education sector is in bad shape,  in his words "in Osun Education is no longer there"

This is just as he said the state's infrastructural drive had not in any way translate to economic development.

 Lasun Yusuf went further to opine that as Osun  is in a critical position,it must not be left in the hands of those he referred to as "Charlatans"

He stated this while answering questions from newsmen at his hometown Ilobu on Saturday.

The Federal lawmaker who is eyeing the number one seat in Osun state,said if elected governor,the situation of the state no matter how bad, can be salvaged.

He noted further that he has a clear vision of how  both infrastructural and economic development can be achieved for the benefit of the people of the state.

According to him "Clear sense of responsibility is important for any leader or aspiring leader",saying things would be done differently if he ever becomes the governor.

In the chat,Lasun took a swipe at the educational position, Infrastructure and economic development  of Osun state promising that things will change if given the opportunity to govern.

 "If you're a governor or aspiring governor and you say you have 6 points agenda or 9 points agenda, it's rubbish, I'm very sure of that. People talk about infrastructure, infrastructure that is not targeted at economic development is no infrastructure. So, it means at any point in time when you're talking about infrastructure, you're talking about economic development. Once, you're not able to link the two, then you don't know what you're doing.

"For example, if you decide to construct roads, it's better for you to construct roads where you can take people to farm and for them to be able to bring farm produce outside, than to construct roads for those who use it luxurious items. Awolowo was not stupid when he went inside the bush throughout the Southwest in those days to do farm settlements. Was he stupid? Why didn't he concentrate on Ibadan, Abeokuta, Osogbo and start doing things" He queried.

Lasun Yusuf who is contending for the governorship ticket on APC says he is hopeful to make a turn around for the state if elected.

"When you talk about infrastructure development, you're talking about economic development, so, I'm going  to link the two together to make sure that whatever infrastructural provisions we make translate to economic development"
