Jobs
Create jobs through infrastructure-led investment
Partial
The promise
Promised that prioritising infrastructure and security would attract businesses and investors, in turn creating jobs.
Assessment
Amosun's administration claimed to have created over 500,000 jobs and reduced unemployment to a minimal level; these figures came from the administration's own account rather than independently verified statistics.
Infrastructure
Build infrastructure as an investment magnet
Partial
The promise
Promised road and infrastructure development as a foundation for attracting business investment to Ogun State.
Assessment
The administration prioritised roads and infrastructure spending across both terms, though independent analysis at the time questioned whether road expansion and overhead bridges alone were adding proportionate value for residents.
Governance
Lawful, transparent governance
Broken
The promise
Campaigned on lawful, accountable administration of the state.
Assessment
Hours before leaving office in May 2019, Amosun confessed to police that he had stockpiled 1,000 AK-47 rifles, 4 million rounds of ammunition, 1,000 bulletproof vests and an armoured personnel carrier at a secret Government House armoury, imported without the legally required end-user certificate; separately, a 2021 government panel found the EFCC under Ibrahim Magu had been directed not to investigate corruption allegations against him.
Transport
Rebuild Ogun State infrastructure (Mission to Rebuild)
Partial
The promise
Promised to rebuild Ogun State's infrastructure, especially roads, bridges, and urban renewal, under the 'Mission to Rebuild' (MITROS) agenda.
Assessment
By 2016, ~357.11 km standard roads and 15 flyovers completed; 312 roads maintained/repaired across 3 senatorial districts. However, many projects abandoned/uncompleted at handover (₦349bn awarded, ₦130bn paid, ₦20.7bn unpaid CVs). ₦300bn spent on 347km (13.6% of 2,545km Trunk B roads). High per-km costs (₦1.98bn/km vs FG's ₦1.35bn/km).
Transport
Rehabilitate federal roads in Ogun (₦170bn claimed)
Partial
The promise
Claimed ₦170bn spent rehabilitating federal roads across Ogun since 2011, urging FG to cede roads to states for tolling.
Assessment
Claimed ₦170bn spent on federal roads (Lagos-Ibadan, Lagos-Abeokuta). Urged FG to cede roads for state tolling. FG's Lagos-Ibadan (124km, ₦167bn, ₦1.35bn/km) cheaper than Amosun's roads (₦1.98bn/km).
Transport
Urban renewal & first flyovers in Ogun (Ibara, Mobalufon, Sagamu, etc.)
Kept
The promise
