As part of ways to boost investment in Osun State, the state Government has announced the launch of the Osun State Investment Portal.
According to a statement by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, the initiative was part of Governor Ademola Adeleke’s commitment to improving the ease of doing business in the State and attracting both local and foreign investment.
Conceptualized and delivered under the Office of the Special Adviser on Innovation, Science, Technology, and Digital Economy, the portal serves as a one-stop digital gateway for investors, the statement noted.
Alimi said the portal will provide comprehensive information on investment opportunities, sector profiles, incentives, and step-by-step guidance for establishing businesses in Osun.
“It also complements the Governor’s flagship ease-of-doing-business initiatives, including the Certificate of Occupancy in 45 Days (CofoIn45Days) programme and the Harmonized Bill, both designed to cut red tape, improve transparency, and make Osun one of the most investor-friendly states in Nigeria,” the statement added.
According to the Commissioner, Governor Adeleke, while speaking on the launch, said, “My administration is institutionalizing ease of doing business in Osun. The Investment Portal gives every investor a single, trusted entry point with clear guidance, firm timelines, and direct government support. Backed by our CofoIn45Days programme and the Harmonized Bill, we are cutting red tape, lowering costs, and making approvals transparent and trackable. We welcome investors to a state where processes are predictable, rights are protected, and growth is shared.”
“The Investment Portal offers: Sector-Based Investment Guides – covering Agriculture, Mining, Tourism, Manufacturing, ICT, Trade, and more. It also offers Investor Support Services – including land acquisition facilitation, tax incentives, permits, and licensing assistance.
“With this platform, Osun State is showcasing its strategic location, reliable infrastructure, abundant resources, skilled workforce, and investor-focused policies — positioning the State as a hub for trade, industry, and innovation in Nigeria and West Africa,” the governor added.
