In its bid to ensure citizenry participation and public inclusiveness, the Seyi Makinde-led Oyo State administration has released ten telephone numbers aimed at getting feedback and measuring the performance of the current administration in the state since its inception.
Disclosing this to newsmen in Ibadan, the State Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Dr. Wasiu Olatubosun, stated that the initiative was part of the open governance policy of the State government and its drive to include the citizens in policy making.
The ten telephone numbers are:
