The Ondo state governor has said the state remains a state of pride as
it celebrates its 40th anniversary.
Mimiko said since the carving out of Ekiti from Ondo state, the state
has continued to boast of numerous sons and daughters that have
excelled in their various fields of human endeavours namely: medicine,
politics, military, entertainment, sports, bureaucracy, human rights
activism, law, academics, oil and gas, business, journalism,
information technology.
"Ondo State and its citizens have in no small measure contributed to
National Development. For example, looking at the winners of the
National Merit Awards, one can say with pride that out of 60 Award
winners since the inception of that award, 11 Ondo State indigenes
have been recipients.

"Similarly, the state has played crucial roles especially in the areas
of education and democratic development. It is on record that we
provided a veritable platform for the launch and spread of free
education in the western region thus helping to establish the easiest
window to escape from poverty not only to the Yoruba race but the
entire landscape of Nigeria.
"Ondo State is also well known for supporting progressive ideals at
all times as the state has forever remained the haven or better still,
the de facto home of progressive groups that championed the
re-instatement of democracy in Nigeria; namely Afenifere and NADECO,"
he said.
He added that it is the bounden duty of this generation of Ondo state
indigenes and residents to bequeath to future generations, a society
that works and thrives; a society that compares favourably with its
contemporary communities across the globe.
He noted that he would continue to work hard as the state governor to
see a better life for the state indigenes.
