Special Adviser to Governor Adeleke on Global Investments and Partnerships, Mr. ‘Yemi Owolade, has said that with the huge economic potentials of Osun State in tourism, agriculture, and mining, among others, the state is very viable for investments.
Special Adviser to Governor Adeleke on Global Investments and Partnerships, Mr. ‘Yemi Owolade, stated this in a panel discussion at the 2023 Fidelity International Trade and Creative Connect.
Owolade, who spoke on the topic “Nigerian Gemstones: Can We Bring Them Out of the Dark Market into the Light?” stated that since the inception of the Adeleke administration, efforts have been geared towards the rejuvenation of the mining sector as part of measures to boost the state’s internally generated revenue (IGR).
He said the state is very open to welcoming investors and development partners interested in advancing the state’s economy.
Owolade said: “During the panel discussion, I highlighted Governor Adeleke’s efforts to rejuvenate the mining sector in the state, aiming to boost Internal Generated Revenue (IGR), along with initiatives for environmental protection, community engagement, and development.
I pointed out the state’s rich deposits of solid minerals, particularly gold, and discussed the policy frameworks being implemented to attract investors and encourage partnerships.
“I assured the audience that Osun is open for business and invited them to participate in the development of our dear state.
“Apart from mining, we are also looking at boosting tourism, youth employment, increasing our social safety net, and further deepening our ease of doing business agenda so as to accommodate the inflow of businesses to the state.
“One of the things we are also bringing up is the Osun Global Initiative, an agenda that seeks to not just push investments to the state but drive the all-round participation of the people, especially the youth—a major segment of our population—to key into the administration’s economic growth plan.”
