The Executive Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke, has formally launched the Osun State Investment Brochure, describing it as a strategic instrument to open the state to investment, innovation, and long-term economic growth.

The launch, which took place on Thursday, 22nd January, 2026 at the Government House Banquet Hall, Osogbo, underscores the Adeleke administration’s commitment to reposition Osun State as a competitive, and investor-friendly destination within Nigeria and across international markets.

Speaking at the event, Governor Adeleke restated his administration’s clear policy direction, declaring that “Osun State is open for business. We offer policy consistency, government support, and investment security. In Osun, investors are not just welcomed; they are valued partners in progress.”

The governor noted that since assuming office, his administration has pursued an investment-driven development agenda anchored on strong public-private partnership as a pathway to sustainable growth, job creation, and shared prosperity. He emphasized that government policies and actions are deliberately structured to support credible investors and stimulate economic expansion.

He disclosed that the state recently hosted a high-level delegation of investors from Mainland China and Hong Kong, in the company of the Owa of Ijeshaland, with discussions focused on concrete industrial development plans in sectors including manufacturing, agriculture, mining, and infrastructure.

Governor Adeleke also referenced the successful hosting of the Osun State Dinner and Industrial Investment Roundtable, which brought together investors, industry leaders, policymakers, and development partners to engage directly on opportunities, incentives, and partnerships available in the state. He explained that through the ‘Invest in Osun’ initiative, the state has continued to actively promote its investment potential locally and internationally.

The Governor explained that the Investment Brochure, developed under the coordination of the Osun State Investment Promotion Agency (OSIPA), presents clear, and structured opportunities across priority sectors such as agriculture, solid minerals, tourism, hospitality, infrastructure, manufacturing, renewable energy, healthcare, education, and the creative economy.

He further pronounced Osun State’s comparative advantages, including fertile land, abundant mineral resources, strategic location, a youthful workforce, and a peaceful environment for business. According to His Excellency; Governor Adeleke’s deliberate reforms have been implemented to improve ease of doing business, including the establishment of a one-stop investment shop at the OSIPA building to simplify processes, strengthen institutions and protect investors.

Governor Adeleke commended the management of OSIPA, led by the Special Adviser to the Governor, Hon. Felix Olatunji, for their professionalism and foresight in producing the Investment Brochure, describing it as a clear statement of the state’s readiness to engage, partner, and grow. He also acknowledged the role of the media in projecting Osun State to the global investment community.

He concluded by inviting investors, and development partners to explore the opportunities outlined in the brochure, and collaborate with OSIPA to become part of Osun State’s growth story, with a shared objective of unlocking economic potential, creating sustainable jobs and securing a prosperous future for the people of the state.

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, hwhich ave 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.
