"The problem we had was inadequate resources, not the management of the little we had. The little we had was properly managed and was invested in real infrastructural development.
"If you have your developmental plans based on your revenue expectations and it is not coming as it is in the case here, the only thing is to go back to the drawing board and re-adjust your plan.
"To the best of our knowledge, the little resources available to Osun under the present administration was properly and adequately applied and managed", he said.
