Ondo State Quarterly Economic Digest Business News on Southwest Nigeria States. (July-September 2015) Ondo Joins United Nation’s Deforestation Programme Ondo state has been enlisted on the UN-REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) Programme coordinated by the Forest Department of Federal Ministry of Environment Abuja. The state explained that its inclusion into the programme was as a result of its completion of the scoping mission exercise conducted in the state forest reserves. Through participating in REDD+ it will reduce deforestation, checkmate all form of degradation and preserve biodiversity and the state is working assiduously to ensure the sustainability of the programme. Also, it will provide alternative livelihood for sustainable rural developments to the host communities. Ondo moves to raise IGR Ondo State government has said it is putting up initiatives to shore up its Internally-Generated Revenue (IGR), following the declining federal allocation to states. It has been said that the reality of the unfavourable economic climate, which resulted in the sharp drop in revenue from oil, being the main source of revenue for the country, made it imperative for the government to look inward and ensure its IGR was improved upon. By bringing more people into the tax net in order to raise IGR, the dependency on the Federal allocation would become lesser. Ondo Gov Inaugurates N4bn Water Project. The Ondo State Governor, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, inaugurated the first phase of the N4.1bn water project in Aboto, in the Ilaje Local Government Area of the state. As part of efforts to find a lasting solution to the perennial problem of potable water supply in the riverine area of the state. It was said that the water project was important to the people of the riverine communities of Ilaje as it would put a stop to the residents travelling long distance to get water to drink. |

mensdept: FORBES : Meet The Nigerian Fashion Designer Building Africa's Hermès Kunmi Otitoju, a 30-year-old Nigerian fashion designer and entrepreneur, holds two Computer Science degrees – a Bachelor of Science degree with first-class honors from Howard University and a Master of Science degree from Virginia Tech. But her first love was Fine Art. As a high school student in Lagos, she won the Fine Arts prize at school every year – for 3 years. Having moved to the U.S. when she was 17, and then to Europe at the age of 25, Otitoju found herself deeply enmeshed in western culture. Keen on preserving her Nigerian identity and eager to propagate facets of Nigerian culture, she conceived the idea of lining high-quality leather bags with Aso-oke fabric, a hand-loomed cloth woven by Nigeria’s Yoruba people. In 2011, after stints at Goldman Sachs and a few other international corporations, Otitoju established Minku, a fast-growing high-end Afro-centric brand that produces luxury bags, wallets and other fashion accessories for men and women by subtly blending Aso-oke into contemporary Spanish leathers to present a transcontinental finish. All Minku’s products are hand-made at a workshop in Barcelona, Spain, but they are sold at high-end stores in Nigeria and on the company’s website.    |
