As families across the nation mark Father’s Day, the Chairman of the Oyo State Local Government Service Commission, Bashorun Akinwole Akinwale, has paid glowing tribute to fathers everywhere, describing them as foundational pillars of strength, values, and legacy.
In a heartfelt statement issued Sunday morning;

Happy Father’s Day!
Today, we pause to honour and celebrate the remarkable men whose lives reflect the true meaning of fatherhood. Fathers are more than providers – they are pillars of strength, guardians of values, and architects of generational legacy. Whether guiding with wisdom, standing as protectors in times of uncertainty, or nurturing with quiet resilience, their impact resonates far beyond their households.
The responsibilities fathers shoulder are great and often carried with silent dignity. Their sacrifices, many unseen and unspoken, serve as the foundation upon which stronger families, communities, and societies are built. We salute their tireless dedication, unwavering integrity, and the deep well of love from which they draw to uplift those entrusted to their care.
On this special day, we also pay heartfelt tribute to His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, a quintessential father figure to the people of Oyo State. His leadership is not only defined by innovation and progress but by compassion, accessibility, and an abiding commitment to the wellbeing of every citizen. Governor Makinde exemplifies the virtues of a true father — wise in counsel, firm in purpose, and ever devoted to the collective good. His visionary governance continues to inspire and nurture a legacy of excellence for generations to come.
To all fathers across our dear state and beyond, we say thank you. May this day bring you the honour, peace, and celebration you so richly deserve.
Warm regards,
Bashorun Akinwole Akinwale,
Chairman, Oyo State Local Government Service Commission
