Salaam gave this assurance on Tuesday, while speaking on a political programme, Oro Oselu, aired on Uniq FM, Ilesa, Osun State.

On the programme, the former Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly said his focus remains “On governance, development, and policies capable of improving the lives of the people rather than engaging in political abuse and distractions.”

According to him, while many politicians have been trading insults to get public attention, he “Has been engaging investors and stakeholders in the power sector with the aim of finding a lasting solution to the epileptic power supply affecting homes, businesses, and industries across the State.”

The former speaker added that stable electricity remains a necessity for economic growth, industrial expansion, youth employment, and the survival of small and medium-scale businesses, stating readiness “To prioritise solving the state’s energy crisis.”

Salaam further noted that no “Meaningful development can thrive in an environment plagued by poor power supply” and assured the residents that his administration would “explore partnerships and innovative energy solutions capable of boosting power generation and distribution across the state.”

He maintained that the people of Osun deserve leadership driven by vision, peace, and practical solutions, stressing that his ambition is centred on restoring quality governance and sustainable development to the state.
