Osogbo Progressive Union (OPUUSA) successfully held its 2025 Biennial National Convention and Fundraising Gala Night themed “2025, Osogbo Year of Unity” in Dallas, Texas. The event, a vibrant celebration of Osogbo’s heritage and progress, was graced by the presence of the Secretary to the Osun State Government, Bobagunwa Teslim Igbalaye, who represented His Excellency, Asiwaju Nurudeen Ademola Adeleke, the Executive Governor of Osun State, as the Special Guest of Honor.

In his keynote address, delivered on behalf of Governor Adeleke, High Chief Teslim Igbalaye commended the OPUUSA for their dedication towards the development of Osogbo and Osun State. He highlighted the significance of the theme, “Osogbo Year of Unity,” noting that it reflects the enduring bond between Osogbo’s sons and daughters in the diaspora and their homeland.

“Your presence here, thousands of miles from home, proves that no distance can break the bond we share with our roots,”

“Your contributions inspire us all, and we are grateful for your deep-rooted love for Osogbo.” the Governor stated.

He outlined transformative strides made by the Adeleke administration in Osun State, particularly in Osogbo. Key projects include the ongoing construction of flyover bridges at Oke-Fia and Lameco, road electrification across major streets, new school buildings, and refurbishments at the University of Osun (UNIOSUN), Osogbo Campus. Healthcare facilities have also been upgraded, alongside numerous initiatives positioning Osogbo as a commercial hub and a beacon of progress in Nigeria.

Governor Adeleke, through the SSG, a proud son of Osogbo, called for deepened collaboration with the diaspora community, urging OPUUSA members to leverage their expertise and resources to empower youths, build human capital, and preserve Osogbo’s cultural heritage. He reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to transparency and impactful governance, assuring continued support for initiatives that advance Osogbo’s growth.

Through community initiatives, advocacy, and partnerships, OPUUSA continues to champion progress and unity for Osogbo both in Nigeria and the diaspora.
