I recently had the privilege of participating in a high-level meeting that brought together the Osun State Government and key representatives from the UK Prime Minister’s Envoy to Nigeria. The focus was clear: strengthening trade relations and unlocking economic potential.
What stood out to me were the candid, solution-driven discussions and the clarity of purpose shown by Governor Adeleke and his team. It became immediately clear that Osun is not only open for business—it is ready for growth. The state’s proactive strategies to create a business-friendly environment are not just promises; they are already being implemented with seriousness and vision.
As someone with deep personal and professional roots in Osun, I left that meeting not just impressed, but inspired. Encouraged by the government’s approach and the opportunities ahead, our consortium is now poised to increase our financial commitments in the state. We will be injecting over £5 million (approximately $7 million USD) into Osun by the end of this year—an investment targeted at empowering local enterprises and generating meaningful jobs.
This is not just business—it is a homegrown commitment to the future of Osun.
