Governor Ademola Adeleke 100 days Programme: Osun Google Mapping Focus

In line with Governor Ademola Adeleke 100 days ICT programme, there is an ongoing effort to get Osun state on the Google mapping index.

As at today, Osun Google mapping index is only at about 30%; the goal is to ensure Osun is fully captured on Google map such that the nooks and crannies of the state is covered, including government offices, business, schools and worship centres.

We are encouraging our team to talk to their people to update the presence of their towns and landmark areas on the global stage via a scheme referred as 'Google Local Guide', develop by google to allow people contribute to the development of their community mapping.

As a Local Guide, you earn points when you share reviews, photos, and knowledge on Google Maps. Those points lead to higher levels of the program, as well as benefits like early access to Google features and special rewards from partners with travelling opportunity.

To know more, Check your phone to access the Google map facility. It is in the best interest of every community to have their their presence on the Google map, as it improves visibility and opens the community to training and internship opportunities from Google Foundation.

This will also help business owners or investors who are looking forward to running e-commerce in Osun and will help businesses to be easily located anywhere in the world.
