ADELEKE REDUCED OSUN DEBT PROFILE BY 43 PERCENT – DMO

Between December 2022 and the first quarter of 2025, Osun State, under the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke recorded a significant decline in both domestic and external debts. The domestic debt dropped from ₦148.37 billion to ₦83.32 billion, while the external debt reduced from $91.78 million to $75.14 million.
