Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke disclosed that he travels mostly on family private jets to reduce the state travel bills. This clarification is coming after online medium published that his state spent N3.1billion on domestic and international travels within six months.
However, the governor, in a statement issued by his spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed on Monday, the amount quoted by the medium was the full year training allocation for the over 100 Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government for the whole of 2025.
According to him, the amount quoted for Governor Adeleke was negligible because the governor footed most of his travel through his family’s private jet, just like the case of his recent trip to the United States of America.
The statement clarified further that many agencies had already undertaken their local and international training in the first half of the year because of the anticipated kick-off of pre-2026 political activities in the latter part of the year.
He said the opposition’s sponsored reports about international travelling and training expenditures are not only misleading but also mischievous.
