Manage state fiscal policy, coordinate revenue collection, and support the administration's efforts to grow internally generated revenue and manage debt obligations.

Took over the finance portfolio in the second term as the state continued efforts to broaden its revenue base beyond federal allocations. The state's IGR growth over the term predates his specific tenure, and the ministry has faced continuing scrutiny over unresolved debt obligations, including the ₦3.4 billion balance from the 2021 Supreme Court judgment on former council officials' entitlements.

Oversee state energy policy and mineral resource development, including engagement with investors in the state's growing oil and gas services and solid minerals sectors.

Served during a period in which Oyo State attracted its first major oil and gas investment from Shell Nigeria Gas, though the extent of the ministry's own direct role in that specific deal, negotiated substantially at the federal and corporate level, was not independently detailed in public reporting.

Serve as the state's chief law officer, advising government on legal matters and representing the state in litigation, including ongoing debt and contract disputes.

Held the justice portfolio through a period of multiple high-profile legal disputes for the state, including the protracted ₦3.4 billion council officials' debt case and the Assembly loan quorum allegations, both of which remained points of public contention.

Manage government communications and public messaging, including the administration's response to major crises and controversies.

Served as the administration's principal public communicator through the 2026 Oriire abduction crisis and the Bodija explosion fund controversy, issuing the government's rebuttals to opposition and civic-group allegations. Critics argued the ministry's messaging was often reactive rather than proactively transparent about fund disbursement and security planning.

Oversee road construction, rehabilitation, and transport infrastructure across the state's 33 local government areas.

Continued the administration's road infrastructure programme, including projects funded through the Alternative Project Funding Approach. Large sections of rural road network remained in poor condition through the second term, and some flagship urban projects faced repeated completion delays.

Drive the administration's agribusiness pillar, supporting investment in agricultural value chains as a core plank of the state's economic strategy.

Served during a period in which Oyo State attracted significant agribusiness investment, including Psaltry International's expansion to build Africa's first cassava-based sorbitol factory in the state — one of the more concrete, independently verifiable economic wins of the administration's agribusiness focus.

Implement the administration's free basic education policy and oversee education quality and infrastructure across public schools.

Oversaw continuation of the free education policy into the second term. Enrolment reportedly increased, but classroom infrastructure and teacher supply continued to be flagged by education advocates as lagging behind demand across the state's local government areas.

Coordinate women's economic empowerment and social inclusion programmes, including health insurance access for vulnerable women.

Oversaw programmes including free OYSHIA health insurance coverage extended to 10,000 women across the state's local government areas, though comprehensive outcome tracking for beneficiaries was not published.

Oversee local government administration and relations with traditional rulers across the state's 33 local government areas.

Served through a period of continued legal fallout from the administration's 2019 dismissal of APC-elected local government officials, including the unresolved ₦3.4 billion Supreme Court judgment debt and a 2023 Court of Appeal fine against the governor and co-respondents for non-compliance.

Promote Oyo State's cultural heritage and tourism sector, including engagement with the state's traditional institutions.

Held a lower-profile portfolio relative to the finance, security, and infrastructure ministries; no major independently verified achievements or controversies specific to this ministry were prominent in public reporting through the term.
