The Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has unveiled the Osun 2025 Infrastructure Projects, a comprehensive development plan aimed at transforming the state’s infrastructure landscape.
According to the Governor at the press conference on Tuesday, the projects, valued at N159 billion, will focus on the works, health, and education sectors.
Adeleke also reiterated that the projects will be funded through the combination of state allocations and internally generated revenue, with no borrowing planned until completion.
“Ladies and gentlemen, I want to reiterate that, as our standing policy, we are not borrowing a kobo for the funding of these projects.
“Our approach to funding the new infrastructure plan is to rely on state allocations from the Federation Allocation, Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) and special funds accruing from the return of funds owed to the states by the Federal Government.
“We will also be cutting waste and costs while deploying our local content policy to boost the local economy. On the local content, Osun money will continue to flow within the Osun economy. We will continue to engage our local companies, local engineers, suppliers, and artisans.
“As our last two years have rejuvenated the state economy, the new round of project implementation will further deepen the local economy and thereby tackle poverty and create collective wealth. Osun’s infrastructure deficit will be further reduced and open doors for more foreign direct investment.”
The governor noted that the first phase of the infrastructure projects, launched in December 2023, has been successfully executed, with over 150 kilometers of roads, 200 Primary Health Centres, and 99 schools either completed or undergoing rehabilitation.
