The Osun State government has announced plans to actively harness public-private partnerships (PPPs) as part of its strategy to drive economic development, attract investments, and reposition the state as a prime destination for business. This move aligns with Governor Ademola Adeleke’s “Imole” initiative, which emphasizes infrastructural and social development to boost Osun’s appeal to investors.
Preparations are underway for the upcoming Osun State Dinner and Investment Roundtable scheduled for October, a flagship event aimed at fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors. Commissioner for Commerce, Industry, Trade, and Investment, Rev. Bummi Jenyo, officially commissioned the event’s preparations, expressing optimism about the partnerships formed with consultants Mr. Rume Ogane, CEO of Ecosystem Africa Prestige Limited, and Miss Onome Ogo, CEO of Vanom Global Nigeria Limited.
Jenyo highlighted the importance of these collaborations in consolidating the administration’s efforts to make Osun an attractive hub for social and infrastructural progress. The prime consultants, who bring experience from similar projects in other states, pledged to work closely with the government to explore investment opportunities, technical partnerships, sponsorships, and promotional activities.
This initiative is part of a broader vision by the Adeleke administration to revitalize Osun’s economy, stimulate growth, and project the state as a vibrant, business-friendly environment ready for development. The government’s commitment to PPPs is expected to play a crucial role in achieving these goals and ensuring sustainable economic advancement for Osun State.
