The Governor described the assessment as a validation of his administration’s commitment to openness, accountability in governance.

“We run a transparent, due process-driven administration. Across sectors, our budgetary process continues to receive accolades,” Adeleke said.
“Osun State has once again distinguished itself on the national stage, emerging as one of only 11 states to score a perfect 100 per cent rating in the Q3 2025 Fiscal Transparency League Table.”
The Governor explained that the report evaluates states based on the availability, timeliness, and completeness of public finance documents, the functionality of e-procurement portals, and the accessibility of fiscal data. He said the ranking counters opposition’s claims, reflects excellent management over the last three years.
Highlighting other achievements under his administration, Adeleke noted:
