According to him “Dr. Mimiko started the community development projects in Ifedore Local government. The Public Service Training Institute, PSTI, established in our local government is an institution on its own.

For the first time in the history of Ondo state, it was during Mimiko’s time that we had two commissioners from Ifedore and there is no community across the entire Local Government that did not feel the impact of Mimiko’s government. This is to menton a little of what he was able to do for our local government and its people”.
