The Osun State Government has reinforced its dedication to leveraging public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a critical pillar in its strategy to attract sustainable investments and accelerate inclusive economic growth. This commitment forms a central part of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s broader “Imole” agenda, which aims to transform the state’s infrastructural and social landscape through purposeful collaboration and innovation.
At the heart of this vision is the upcoming Osun State Dinner and Investment Roundtable, slated for October. Designed as a high-level convergence of private sector leaders, investors, and development partners, the event is intended to open up strategic conversations and investment opportunities that will reshape the state’s economic narrative. It is not just an event—it is a step towards rebranding Osun as a fertile ground for business and development.
Signaling the seriousness of this initiative, the state’s Commissioner for Commerce, Industry, Trade, and Investment, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, inaugurated the planning committee for the roundtable. She noted that the state’s economic future depends on its ability to attract long-term private capital and foster partnerships that can deliver on development targets. According to her, PPPs remain one of the most viable tools to unlock resources, drive innovation, and bring lasting impact to communities.
The government is partnering with two key consultants to spearhead the investment mobilization process—Mr. Rume Ogane, CEO of Ecosystem Africa Prestige Limited and a consultant to the Plateau State Tourism Corporation, and Miss Onome Ogo, CEO of Vanom Global Nigeria Limited. Both consultants expressed gratitude for the opportunity to support Osun’s vision and pledged to galvanize stakeholder collaboration, forge strategic alliances, and enhance visibility for the state at the national and international levels.
The state is also focusing on using the roundtable to secure technical partnerships, attract sponsorships, and spotlight investment-ready sectors such as agriculture, tourism, real estate, renewable energy, and light manufacturing. Rev. Jenyo emphasized that these efforts are closely aligned with the Adeleke administration’s goal of building a diversified and resilient economy that works for all.
She noted that the upcoming roundtable is not just about investment promotion but about demonstrating that Osun is ready for business—backed by a government that is proactive, transparent, and open to genuine collaboration. The emphasis is on creating an enabling environment that supports investor confidence while ensuring that growth translates into meaningful development across communities.
As preparations intensify, the roundtable is expected to serve as a catalyst for action, policy clarity, and long-term partnerships. It highlights a government shifting from promises to practice, laying a foundation for Osun to emerge as a dynamic investment destination in Nigeria’s South-West.
By anchoring its economic development plan on PPPs and strategic engagement, the Osun State Government is not only unlocking private capital but also building a future shaped by collaboration, innovation, and shared prosperity.
