Yesterday, I received the leadership of the Osun Development Association (ODA), led by its Chairman, Dr. Segun Aina, for a very important and productive discussion on accelerating the industrial and socio-economic development of our dear state.
We discussed several areas of collaboration, including the proposed Osun State Social and Economic Advisory Council, an industrial development bank, investment mobilisation, industrial park development, and stronger interventions in education and healthcare.
I welcomed these proposals and assured the ODA of our administration’s readiness to explore practical ways of activating them for the benefit of our people.
I call on successful sons and daughters of Osun to invest back home and join us in building a stronger, more industrialised and prosperous state. This partnership is important. Together, we will continue to accelerate development and deliver good governance for the people of Osun.
Governor Adeleke Commiserates With Flood Victims
● Directs Environmental Task Force to Visit Affected Areas
OSOGBO - 30/09/2026 - https://t.co/IAkLUVPQ2k
Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has commiserated with residents and families affected by the recent flooding in parts of the state, asking residents to stop building and dumping refuse on waterways.
The governor expressed concern over the impact of the flooding on homes, businesses and livelihoods, noting that Osun has experienced excessive rainfall in recent weeks, putting additional pressure on drainage channels and waterways across the state.
The Governor directed the Special Task Force on Environmental Sanitation led by Elder Ayanleye Aina to visit affected areas and assess environmental conditions contributing to the flooding, saying, "I have directed the Special to visit affected areas and prepare a response plan for the administration.
Governor Adeleke recalled that his administration had undertaken initial dredging and drainage interventions to improve water flow and reduce flooding, assuring residents that the government will take further actions and interventions where necessary to reduce the impact of flooding on our people.
He stressed the need for community responsibility, warning that government interventions cannot achieve the desired results if waterways are obstructed by human activities.
“I urge my people, the residents of Osun State, to stop dumping refuse on waterways, roadside and desist from building on natural water channels as well as flood-prone corridors,” Governor Adeleke said.
He urged residents to report blocked drainages, flooding incidents and other environmental hazards to the appropriate authorities.
His Excellency assured affected residents that the state government will continue to respond to the situation and take additional measures to protect lives, property and communities across Osun State.
