Many do not understand Governor Aregbesola's style of administration. Osun people are not demonstrating but 8% public servants. When jobs are created for the unemployed, many in the public service will resign and join private sectors of the economy. We need more industries for economic growth. God bless Osun State amen.

Let us work towards sustainability and imbibe the ideals of successful entrepreneurship. This news is heart lifting. let us imbibe the spirit of enterpreneur like aliko dangote. God bless ogbeni.

Kudos for this vision via Ogben for the revival of cocoa industry in Ede.

Impressive

I would love to see jobs created from this venture, enough of civil service jobs creation that are barely productive.

It is a shameful toga when a state is described as a civil service state, i hope the state loses that tag of civil service state.

the way forward. innovative means to engage the unemployed citizen

Nice decision, i hope other governors follow suit.
Revenue for the state government

The government needs to see the quick take off of Osogbo steel meel bought by the Africa Richest man, Dangote and that of Machine tools. This will boost the economy of our dear state.

front page pls.

Aregbesola trying to do something out of nothing.

I hv missed dis kinda news. I smell something good.

Let me allow you to enjoy your thread, at least it is not a crime to earn daily living from PPP.

If I take you and your Aregbe on, I will take you to the cleaners as usual.

The golden question Aregbe and sycophants have refused to answer is:

"is the infrastructure on ground commensurate with the level of indebtedness?".

We should b seeing made in osun chocolate soon den

Ogbeni is working...

I hope the newly recruited staff are ready to work for free

Impressive! Good news from Osun for a change. Mynd44, Lalasticlala, food don land.
