Connected Development (CODE), a civil society organisation, has initiated Project Trust in Osun aimed to investigate government projects across the state.
The programme which was launched in April in the state aimed at empowering marginalised communities by collaborating with government and public institutions to strengthen service delivery.

As part of the project, CODE, last Thursday, selected members of Project Trust Osun to investigate government projects, including the claim by the Osun State government under Governor Ademola Adeleke that he renovated 332 Primary Health Care Centers and the Ilesha Water Project, among others.
