Gov. Ademola Adeleke vows to implement Osun industrial summit resolutions

Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has guaranteed that his administration will put the results of his government’s four-day industrial investment summit into action.

Speaking at the summit’s closing ceremony in Osogbo on Saturday, which was attended by Ondo State’s Deputy Governor, Mr Olayide Adelami, businessmen, and top government officials, Adeleke stated that the summit’s resolutions will be utilized to expedite the state’s industrialization.

Represented by his deputy, Kola Adewusi, the governor highlighted Osun as an ideal investment destination. He noted that robust infrastructure, stable power, and a population of over five million educated and hospitable people have made the state a business-friendly environment.

“Osun State is a land of diverse economic opportunities, and we are hopeful that the dry port, cargo airport, special economic zone, agro-processing zone, and free trade zone will be fully operational, benefiting our incoming investors.

“It is my hope that the discussions at this summit have provided the state with insights into the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to our economic growth and development.

“I want to express my appreciation to all our keynote speakers, panellists, moderators, and participants who have shared their experiences, which will help us in formulating policies, programmes, and plans for the benefit of the people of Osun State.

“I believe that after this summit, Osun will emerge as one of Nigeria’s economic giants. As I conclude, I assure you that the state government will implement and utilize the outcomes of this summit to accelerate the industrialization of Osun State for the benefit of its people,” Adeleke said.

Earlier, Osun State Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Bunmi Jenyo, stated that following the successful hosting of the summit, new industries, investments, and corporate organisations would emerge in the state, ensuring economic growth not only for the current generation but also for future ones.

According to him, the new industries will address challenges such as unemployment, over-reliance on civil servants’ salaries, and poverty among the majority of Osun’s population.
