The problem
Oyetola's administration said it inherited a total debt profile of ₦170.6 billion from the Aregbesola government upon taking office on 27 November 2018, comprising ₦141.1 billion in domestic debt and ₦29.5 billion in multilateral external debt.
What was done
The administration says it repaid roughly ₦97 billion of the inherited debt without taking new loans, though this figure was not independently audited, and the state's overall debt profile remained a matter of public dispute through and after his tenure.
Partial
The problem
Between 2015 and mid-2018, the Aregbesola administration paid many workers a reduced 'modulated salary' due to severe fiscal distress, leaving an arrears backlog even after full salary payment was restored just before Oyetola took office.
What was done
Oyetola pledged to pay all outstanding arrears from the modulated-salary period and maintained full salary payment through his term, though workers continued to publicly petition him over unresolved arrears, and no independently verified figures confirming full clearance were identified for this entry.
Partial
The problem
Accounts of exactly what the Aregbesola administration left in the state's coffers at the November 2018 handover diverged sharply between allies of the two administrations, complicating an independent assessment of the state's true starting fiscal position.
What was done
Oyetola later said his administration left roughly ₦14 billion in Osun's coffers when he himself left office in 2022, a claim that was itself disputed by the incoming Adeleke administration — illustrating that handover fiscal disputes recurred as a pattern in Osun politics rather than being resolved once.
Partial
The problem
Osun inherited a primary healthcare system with many centres in poor physical condition, a legacy of years of underinvestment predating the Oyetola administration.
What was done
The administration secured $20.5 million in revitalisation grants for primary healthcare centres, but an investigative report in December 2021 found many centres remained in shambles despite the funding, indicating the underlying infrastructure problem was not durably resolved.
