Engr Akeem Olatunji, Director of GSM Advocates, has emphasised that good governance under the GSM (Good Governance, Service, and Merit) framework is driven by competence, transparency, accountability, visible impact, and verifiable results.
According to Engr Olatunji, these principles are essential for effective governance, as they promote trust, efficiency, and responsiveness in public service delivery. He noted that GSM Advocates is committed to promoting these values, citing the impact of Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration in Oyo State as a model example.
Engr. Olatunji’s statement aligns with the GSM Advocates’ mission to promote good governance and accountability in Nigeria. The key governance principles include competence, which refers to effective leadership and management; transparency, which involves openness and accessibility of government actions; accountability, which entails answerability for government decisions and actions; visible impact, which means tangible results and benefits for citizens; and verifiable results, which are measurable outcomes and achievements.
Transparency is also crucial, with openness and accessibility of government actions fostering accountability and answerability for decisions and actions. The focus on visible impact means tangible results and benefits for citizens, while verifiable results guarantee measurable outcomes and achievements. This approach has been praised by GSM Advocates as a model for good governance. By prioritising competence, Makinde’s administration ensures effective leadership and management.
Engr Akeem Olatunji, Director of GSM Advocates, has expressed confidence in Governor Seyi Makinde’s leadership, stating that the administration is committed to delivering good governance to Oyo State residents. As a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Makinde’s government prioritises the welfare and prosperity of the people. Olatunji highlighted that the state is poised for a new era of growth and development, referred to as “Omitituntun 3.0”, a vision that promises improved governance, infrastructure, and overall well-being for Oyo State citizens. He expressed optimism that with God’s grace, this promise will be fulfilled, bringing tangible benefits and progress to the state.
