Commissioner commends Omo-Oluwa Initiative Forum over empowerment of Osun Central Constituents
The Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry in Osun State, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo has commended the Omo-Oluwa Initiative Forum for prioritising the welfare and wellbeing of the people of Osun Central Senatorial District.
This was contained in the Commissioner’s Keynote address at the Osun Central Empowerment Programme organised by the senatorial aspirant, Mr. Olusegun Elijah Olasunkanmi, held at the Governor’s Hall, Leisure Spring Hotel, Osogbo on Thursday, 30th April, 2026.
The Commissioner also charged the over 200 empowerment beneficiaries, drawn across the ten local governments, to register their businesses with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC), form a cooperative society and maintain meticulous records to track income, expenses and growth.
According to the Commissioner, “Omo-Oluwa Initiative Forum deserves commendation. By prioritising barbering, agro-processing, adire, liquid soap and balm production – trades with low startup costs, daily demand and export potential, you are aligning with Osun’s economic revival”.
“To our participants who are being empowered today, the starter packs you are receiving today are not handouts but seed capital. The Forum has sown the seed, your role is to nurture it into abundance”.
“Register your business promptly with the CAC via One Stop Shop at the Osun Investment Promotion Agency (OSIPA). Join or form a cooperative society for collective bargaining,access to loans and shared expertise”.
“Train others in your craft, creating a multiplier effect that turns 200 empowered individuals into 5,000 employed tomorrow”.
“Let me reassure you that Governor Adeleke’s administration will continue to prioritise an Osun where no able person is idle, and no skill is wasted. From Iwo to Ikire, Ejigbo to Ile-Ife, Osogbo to Ilesa, our message is the same, Imole de, okunkun parada!”, the Commissioner said.
