Governor Ademola Adeleke has reinstated his administration’s commitment to industrialize Osun State, changing the narrative from being addressed as a civil service state.
Governor Adeleke made this knowm at the Osun Industrial Summit organized by Ministry of Commerce and Industry
He noted that several speakers have pitched Osun to potential investors, stating that he is the Chief marketer of Osun economy and her potential. “As a businessman myself, Osun is no doubt a destination of choice.”
Governor Adeleke said, “I read Aree Dele Momodu’s presentation where he robustly promoted the Osun case from the perspective of an investor. That brilliant submission and many others correctly paint the reality of Osun state. This is a state where robust policy framework and enabling environment combine with buoyant local economic resources.
“Our agenda to industrialize Osun is not a joke.We are multitasking on various fronts to achieve that goal. This investment summit is a first step. There will also be a future investment summit which will directly involve development partners, donor agencies, global leaders of the private sector, multinational companies and investment arms of western and Asian governments. An inter-ministerial panel will soon be put in place to work on this next phase.
“I commend the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry alongside his team for organizing this summit. This has placed Osun on the map of the business community. I expect detailed reports listing sectors for which investors have shown interest.”
