He stressed the importance of safeguarding state assets for the benefit of current and future generations, underscoring the need for stringent measures to deter leadership malpractice.

The establishment of the panel follows Adeleke’s earlier initiative in 2022, which saw the formation of the contract review committee through an Executive Order, reflecting his proactive approach to governance and commitment to effective resource management.
