Oyo Formalizes Grassroots Security as Amotekun and Vigilante Groups Lead Crime Prevention

Oyo Formalizes Grassroots Security as Amotekun and Vigilante Groups Lead Crime Prevention

As the first term concluded in May 2023, the administration had established a robust infrastructure for community-based security. The Oyo Amotekun Corps, with 1,500 personnel deployed across all 33 Local Government Areas, became the primary vehicle for this community participation.   These corps members are recruited from their local communities, ensuring they have the trust and cultural sensitivity required for effective intelligence gathering. To support this, the government provided 100 operational vehicles and dual communication systems, enabling local watch groups to coordinate directly with the state’s central security control room.  A critical component of this participation was the operationalization of the 615 Citizens’ Emergency toll-free line and the relaunch of the Oyo City Watch and Crime Alert Platform. These tools allow citizens to report crimes in real-time, effectively turning every smartphone into a neighborhood watch tool.  By 2021, the government had expanded the Security Control Room at Onireke, Ibadan, to act as a hub for these community-generated alerts. This digital integration ensured that the "see something, say something" slogan moved beyond rhetoric into a functional emergency response system.  Throughout 2022, the state deepened its engagement with traditional rulers and community leaders to oversee these neighborhood security efforts. Regular security council meetings at the local government level provided a platform for these non-state actors to share intelligence with the Police and the Civil Defence (NSCDC).

Oyo Pilots Modern Ranching at Fasola Hub, but Zonal Livestock Village Rollout Remains Unfinished

Oyo Pilots Modern Ranching at Fasola Hub, but Zonal Livestock Village Rollout Remains Unfinished

As the first term concluded in May 2023, the Fasola Agribusiness Industrial Hub stood as the primary evidence of progress. The facility had transitioned from a moribund state to an "advanced stage" of development, hosting private-sector partners like FrieslandCampina WAMCO, which committed to establishing a dairy value chain.   Reports from late 2022 highlighted the construction of livestock-specific infrastructure at Fasola, including grazing fields and plans for meat processing facilities. Additionally, the Oyo State-IITA Youth Agribusiness Incubation Park Centre in Aawe was resuscitated, featuring goat and sheep pens (100-capacity each) and poultry pens (2,000-capacity) as a training model for young "agropreneurs."  Earlier in 2021, the administration focused on the legal and institutional framework by enacting the Oyo State Agribusiness Development Agency (OYSADA) Law. This agency became the vehicle for coordinating livestock investments. During this period, the government successfully signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with international livestock firms to manage components of the proposed villages.  However, construction at the Eruwa and Akufo hubs, which were also intended to host livestock clusters, faced significant bureaucratic and logistical delays, with work only intensifying in the final year of the term. The journey began in late 2019 and early 2020 with the passage of the Oyo State Open Rearing and Grazing Regulation Law. To support the implementation of this law, the government promised to provide alternative "livestock villages" to house herders and their animals.   While the vision was integrated into the broader "Agribusiness Hub" master plan, the actual physical establishment of these villages across multiple zones did not meet the full scale envisioned in the 2019 roadmap. Consequently, by the May 2023 handover, the state had successfully piloted the model at Fasola but had yet to replicate it across the other seven planned locations.

Seyi Makinde Breaks Tree Planters Association Formation Promise

Seyi Makinde Breaks Tree Planters Association Formation Promise

Governor Seyi Makinde's campaign promise to form a Tree Planters Association in Oyo State during his first term (May 2019-May 2023) was never executed.  The manifesto explicitly listed "Formation of Tree Planters Association in the state" as a specific deliverable under forest reserves and afforestation initiatives .   While the administration launched tree planting campaigns, notably a 500,000-tree planting initiative in May 2021 and various afforestation drives, no Tree Planters Association was formally established, registered, or inaugurated.  Tree planting remained a government-led activity rather than a structured, independent association of tree planters as promised. The promise was broken.

Makinde's PWD Census Stalls as Focus Shifts to Agency Setup and Recruitment Portals

The administration established the Oyo State Agency for Persons with Disabilities (OYSAPD) in 2022 and launched a biometric data capture portal to begin registration. Some individuals were successfully captured in this database to facilitate targeted recruitment into the state's teaching and civil service sectors.   However, the promised state-wide census and comprehensive data analysis remained unfulfilled at the conclusion of the first term.

Makinde's Dedicated Health Scheme for Seniors Fails to Launch as First Term Concludes

By May 2023, no new legislative or institutional framework specifically for elderly health insurance had been created. Although, by March 2023, as his first term was concluding, pensioners and senior citizens acknowledged receiving medical support through OYSHIA, this represented an extension of an existing system rather than fulfillment of the promised standalone scheme.
