Adeleke said, “Osun State is blessed with fertile land, abundant mineral resources, strategic location, youthful workforce and a peaceful environment for business. Beyond these advantages, we have taken deliberate steps to improve the ease of doing business.

“Through the Invest in Osun initiative, we have continued to promote our state locally and internationally. These efforts are aimed at attracting credible investors and positioning Osun State as a hub of investment.

“The Osun State Investment Brochure being launched today was developed under the coordination of the Osun State Investment Promotion Agency. It presents clear and structured investment opportunities across priority sectors, including agriculture, solid minerals, tourism, hospitality, infrastructure, manufacturing, renewable energy, healthcare, education and the creative economy.”

Speaking further, Adeleke said Osun is open for business, calling on prospective investors to partner with the state.

“Let me clearly reassure prospective investors present here today, as well as those in diaspora, that Osun State is open for business. We offer policy consistency, government support and investment security. In Osun State, investors are not just welcomed, they are valued partners in progress,” Adeleke added.

The Governor commended the management of OSIPA for their professionalism and foresight in producing this brochure, adding that “this document is more than a publication. It is a clear statement of our readiness to engage, partner and grow.”

In his welcome address, the Commissioner for Commerce andIndustry, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, said the Brochure would showcase the vast investment opportunities available in Osun State.

Jenyo said Osun is a hub of economy and industrial potential, blessed with abundant natural resources, a rich cultural heritage, and a striving entrepreneurial spirit.

He said, “Our state is strategically located in the heart of West Africa, making it an ideal destination for businesses seeking to tap into the regional market.

“We invite investors to take advantage of our state’s resources, talent pool, and infrastructure to establish a group to grow their businesses. Osun State is open for business. We are committed to providing a conducive environment for entrepreneurs to thrive.”

In his remarks, the Chief Executive Officer, Osun State Investment Promotion Agency (OSIPA), Hon. Felix Olatunji, said the present administration has laid both the hard and soft infrastructure required to attract and retain long-term investments.

Olatunji highlighted some of the sectors in the brochure to include agriculture and agri-processing, manufacturing, sub-minerals, infrastructure, renewable energy, tourism, creative industries, and public-private partnerships, which have all been carefully selected based on market demands, resource endowments, infrastructure alignment, and revenue potential for both governments and investors alike.

“The Osun State Investment Brochure is therefore built on verifiable fundamentals, not aspirations based on empirical data. It presents Osun State as an investment-ready sub-national economy with clearly defined priority sectors, bankable project pipelines, incentive frameworks, and institutional support mechanisms.

“The Osun State Investment Brochure is not the end of the process. It is the beginning of a deeper and more structured engagement. In these regards, OSIPA stands ready to work with investors from project conception to commission, and beyond, in our drive to make Osun the safest area for investment destination in the country,” he added.
