The present administration in Osun State, under the leadership of Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke is putting in place necessary measures to turn around the industrial activities of the State.
The Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo made the assertion while receiving members of STM Cashew Producers, Processors and Exporters Nigeria Limited in his office, recently.
The Chairman of the association, Mr Simeon Fasami said the purpose of the visit was to seek Government support and recognition of the association, as their aim is to develop and elevate the industrial strength of Osun State.
Mr Fasami, while stressing the economic benefits of cashew processing in the state said, it will contribute significantly to the economy of Osun as a state and provide solution to the issue of unemployment ravaging Nigeria at this time.
The Secretary of the association, Mr Timothy Olayode while appreciating the Commissioner for the opportunity given to them, commended Governor Adeleke’s industrial drive to change the narrative of the state from being a civil-servant state to an industrialized one.
While responding, the Commissioner appreciated the team, describing their visit as timely now that a new cashew processing company will soon be unveiled by the Nigerian Machine Tools Limited (NMTL), Osogbo.
Rev. Jenyo assured them of maximum support from the state government as the Governor is on the move to industrialize the State and make life easier for the people.
He enjoined them to cooperate with Governor Adeleke to ensure the growth and development of more industries in the state, in no distant future.
