Osun Unveils Investment Brochure, Pledges Faster Land Titles, Investor Protection

The Osun State government has intensified its push to attract local and foreign investors with the launch of a comprehensive Investment Brochure that outlines opportunities across key sectors of the state’s economy.

The brochure was unveiled on Thursday at the Government House Banquet Hall, Osogbo, with Governor Ademola Adeleke, represented by his deputy, Kola Adewusi, describing the document as a strategic tool aimed at opening Osun State to investment, innovation and sustainable economic growth.

Speaking at the event, Adeleke said the launch reflected his administration’s commitment to repositioning Osun as a competitive and investor-friendly destination, stressing that sustainable growth and job creation could only be achieved through strong collaboration between government and the private sector.

“Since assuming office, we have pursued an investment-driven development agenda with focus and consistency. Osun State is open for business, and investors are not just welcomed here, they are valued partners in progress,” he said.

The governor disclosed that the state had recently engaged high-level investors from Mainland China and Hong Kong, with discussions centred on industrial development in manufacturing, agriculture, mining and infrastructure.

He added that the Osun State Dinner and Industrial Investment Roundtable also provided a platform for investors and policymakers to engage directly on available incentives and partnerships.

According to him, the investment brochure, developed by the Osun State Investment Promotion Agency (OSIPA), presents structured opportunities in agriculture, solid minerals, tourism, hospitality, infrastructure, manufacturing, renewable energy, healthcare, education and the creative economy.

Adeleke noted that beyond Osun’s natural advantages such as fertile land, mineral resources and a youthful workforce, his administration had taken deliberate steps to improve the ease of doing business, including the establishment of a one-stop investment centre under OSIPA.

The governor commended OSIPA for producing the brochure and charged the media to help project Osun as a credible investment destination, inviting investors to partner with the state in unlocking its economic potential and creating sustainable jobs.

Speaking at the event, the Special Assistant to the Governor at OSIPA, Oluwaseyi Oladele Olaitan, said the agency had simplified investment processes and significantly reduced bureaucratic delays, particularly in land documentation.

He revealed that investors who obtain land through OSIPA could complete compliance processes and receive approvals within 45 days, describing the timeline as “record-breaking.”

“Osun State is currently the only state where a Certificate of Occupancy can be delivered in just over one month through the use of technology and coordinated processes,” Olaitan said, adding that the agency was open to joint ventures, public-private partnerships and build-operate-transfer agreements.

He urged prospective investors to explore opportunities in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, transportation, health and education, noting that innovative business ideas already tested elsewhere would also be considered by the state.

Also speaking, the Chief Executive Officer of OSIPA, Hon. Felix Lekan Olatunji, said the agency serves as a one-stop shop for facilitating investments and resolving challenges faced by both existing and prospective investors.

“Our role is to make doing business easier in Osun. We mitigate challenges, follow up on investors’ concerns and escalate critical issues to the highest level of government when necessary,” Olatunji said.

He added that investors in the state were backed by clear policies and institutional support, attributing recent progress to reforms introduced under Adeleke’s administration.
