My Tech/Power Sector/Estate Laws for Osun State -Governor Ademola Adeleke

My Tech/Power Sector/Estate Laws for Osun State -Governor Ademola Adeleke 



I warmly welcome everyone to this bill signing ceremony alongside the Osun Tech Hangout, the first of its kind in our dear state. I am glad to assert that Osun is rapidly emerging as a hub for investment, innovation, and opportunity.


Our administration is not only building roads and bridges; we are delivering on Tech innovation and digital economy empowerment. We are opening up the electricity sector to investment and consumer satisfaction. Osun under our watch is becoming a leader in environmental sustainability, tech innovation and energy diversification. 


Our government prioritised digital applications in governance. We have streamlined business processes through the Osun Investment Portal, the 45-day C of O application initiative, and a harmonized and digitised annual tax billing system. We are expanding digital access through Imole free Wi-Fi. 


I have approved the 20-hectare Osun Digital City for startups and digital enterprises. The goal is to develop innovation parks and digital hubs.


These improvements are making government operations faster and more responsive. Osun One, a one-stop shop for all government processes, is transforming service delivery. Security has been strengthened through the 293 AI-powered emergency center, Safe City Initiative, and Security Trust Fund.


We are preparing the next generation. ICT training and annual innovation challenges are creating opportunities for entrepreneurship and job growth. I hereby direct the Ministry of Innovation, Science, Technology, and Digital Economy to deploy Imole EduPods, containerized solar-powered CBT centers, across the state to prepare children for exams and promote digital inclusivity. I also direct the Ministry to establish the Osun Tech Trust Fund to finance these initiatives and strengthen the startup ecosystem.


I am proud to announce the Osun Tech Festival which will be held between February 19–20th, 2026. It will showcase our youth’s creativity, connect local innovators with global partners, and position Osun as a leading destination for technology and enterprise.


For the energy sector, we are expanding the energy mix to liberalize access to power. Our renewable energy drive is on course. We have finalised the legal framework for the energy sector. This will open the sector to private investment and also provide a platform for the regulation of the energy sector. 


I have signed into law the Osun State Electricity Market bill. This is a landmark step towards subnational management and expansion of the power sector. The Ministry of Energy is directed to set up an implementation mechanism as quickly as possible.


A similar legal framework has been provided for the empowerment of Tech entrepreneurs within Osun state. Today, I signed into law the Nigerian Start up Act which domesticates the national law. Osun joins one or two other states that have domesticated the law. The implementation will commence in earnest.


In the recent past, I have also signed into law the bill for the regulation of the real estate sector in the state.


I assure Osun people that your government is proactive, innovative and forward thinking. Your government is addressing present challenges and addressing future needs of the next generation. 


We provide leadership which does not divert funds meant for projects in our towns and cities. Even when we dance, we never deceive the people by making unfulfilled promises. Our seriousness as a government is measured by our delivery of good governance and democratic dividends. Our governorship delivers within three years what they failed to achieve in more than one decade.


We assert that leadership is not about being mean and sadistic to the citizenry. Wickedness and neglect of people's aspirations are never an attribute of a good leader. Leadership is compassion, responsiveness and satisfaction of the needs of the people. 


We affirm that our leadership is a civilised one where people are treated as humans, not as animals. Osun indeed deserves a compassionate leadership, not a set of mean, corrupt and deceitful political fraudsters.


● Text of an Address by HE, Senator Ademola Adeleke,

Executive Governor of Osun State at the bill signing ceremony at the Banquet Hall, Osogbo today December 4th, 2025.

Osun Government Says Governor Adeleke did not Grant Clemency to a Murderer, Accuses Insightinks of Peddling Fake News

Osun Government Says Governor Adeleke did not Grant Clemency to a Murderer, Accuses Insightinks of Peddling Fake News The attention of Osun state Government has been drawn to a recent misleading online media report whimsically titled *Osun: Adeleke pardons suspected murderer who confessed to slitting friend's throat for money ritual* . The said speculative online report was not only fake, jaundiced and misleading but totally out of place with the existing reality, as it can also be at best be ascribed to a grandiose mischief to paint the person and government of Senator Ademola Adeleke in bad light . It would be recalled that, few days ago, Osun State Governor, Governor Ademola Adeleke, as part of activities to mark the 65th Independence Anniversary of Nigeria, granted pardon to 36 convicts serving various jail terms in both Ilesha and Ife Correctional facilities in Osun State. The action taken by Mr Governor in this regard in line with his official position as the Chief Security ...
