Osun @ 32: Adeleke to apply technological innovations in pursuit of industrial growth, education

In celebration of Osun State at 32 years, Governor Ademola Adeleke has reiterated his administration’s commitment to applying technological innovations in pursuit of workable industrial growth, education advancement, and building of a sustainable commonwealth, amongst several sectors requiring government intervention.

Governor Adeleke in his statewide address on Sunday acknowledged the founding fathers of the State which culminated in the creation of the state on August 27, 1991, by the then Military Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.

He recalled the selfless and long-suffering efforts of the state’s founding fathers, which he said predated the nation’s independence and only came to fruition in 1991 with Osogbo as the state capital.

“Osun has been growing from strength to strength. We have achieved a lot under our five-point agenda on workers welfare, gratuities and pension; education, affordable health care, state and social security and human capital development has yielded a skilled workforce that contributes significantly to the growth of our state and the nation.” Governor Adeleke stated.
