“Osun has been growing from strength to strength. We have achieved a lot under our five-point agenda on workers welfare, gratuities and pension; education, affordable health care, state and social security and human capital development has yielded a skilled workforce that contributes significantly to the growth of our state and the nation” Governor Adeleke Stated.

The widely loved Osun helmsman reiterated the commitment of his administration to apply technological innovations in pursuit of workable industrial growth, education advancement and building of a sustainable commonwealth, amongst several sectors requiring government intervention.

He further called for the support of the people of the state as he strives to achieve dreams of the state’s founding fathers,

“We recognise the challenges facing our state. We regard developmental setbacks as tools to resolution of societal problems. I don’t want to report problems but solutions to our common setbacks”

Some of the key areas of priority, according to Governor Adeleke include:

● Strengthening the state’s transportation networks, energy systems, and digital connectivity which are primed to attract investment, facilitate trade, and improve the overall quality of life for the citizens.

  • Continued emphasis on modernizing agricultural practices, supporting farmers with training and access to markets, in order to enhance food security and drive economic growth.
  • Nurturing a culture of learning and innovation through improved educational facilities and partnerships with research institutions to fuel emergence of a knowledge-based economy.
  • Leveraging on cultural heritage and natural endowments to develop sustainable tourism which in turn is expected to that create jobs and stimulate local economies.
  • Providing financial incentives, technical assistance, and access to markets for SMEs to foster entrepreneurship and diversify the state’s economic base, amongst others.

Governor Adeleke described the 32nd anniversary of the State’s creation as a veritable avenue to remind surviving stakeholders in the state of the shared commitment to progress and development, embracing areas of one another’s strengths, addressing weaknesses and confronting threats.
