Governor of the State of Osun, Rauf Aregbesola has disclosed plans to provide 5,000 jobs through the Office of Economic Development and Partnership (OEDP).
The governor said 5,000 different jobs would be provided through the animal husbandry and allied industries. He added that the scheme would be managed by the private sector under the Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with the state government.
