It involves implementing effective and transparent systems that promote accountability, integrity, and ethical behavior in all aspects of governance, these traits are consistently embedded in His Excellency, Seyi Makinde’s administration. To achieve this, it is important to note that Omituntun 1.0 and 2.0 respectively focus on the following key areas:
