The African Development Bank (AfDB) has lauded the Governor Rauf Aregbesola led administration in Osun for economically developing the state through the implementation of its people-oriented policies and programmes.

The AfDB scored Osun high on its social investment programmes, describing them as most laudable, impactful and commendable‎ in the democratic history of the country.

The leadership of the AfDB led by its Country Director, Mr. Ebrima Faal, gave the commendation during a courtesy visit to the governor at Government House in Osogbo.

Faal commended the state’s Six-‎Point Integral Action Plan which he said is in line with the organisation’s objectives.

The AfDB Director commended the state government for being committed to human and capital development as manifested in the positive results the state has recorded in all its policies and programmes.

Faal noted that the organisation was aware of the tremendous achievements the state has recorded particularly in the areas of education, technical and vocational training as well as infrastructure development.

“We are here to commend the state government for being committed to human and capital development as we have seen the positive impacts made in the lives of the citizens.

“We have seen the wonderful works going on across the state, particularly the massive infrastructural development and the efforts the state is making to turn around the economic fortunes of the state.

“We are enthused to be here to express our commitment to support the state in some critical areas of interest in line with our primary objective to stimulate the economy of our people on the continent.

“As a way of contributing to the Nigeria’s economy particularly on the need to diversify her economy from crude-oil to sustainable industrialised and commercialised economy through the advancement of non-oil sectors for the benefit of all, we have deemed it fit to partner Osun government.

“We are working tirelessly to ensure that the Nigeria and Africa’ economy objectives are actualised through the required socio-economic support and collaboration.

“We have seen the tremendous physical and social infrastructural development that spreads around every nook and cranny of the state.

“We want to shift the direction a bit to ensure a holistic performance at supporting governments at various levels to improve on their economy”

He added, “‎Since assumption of duty in Nigeria, I have never been to any state; Osun is the first and this is because I have heard so much about this state and I needed to come and see things for myself.

“And sincerely speaking, with what I have seen on ground since I arrived at Osun, the present administration has really raised the bar of governance through its various investments in infrastructure and the people of the state.
“There are very few states in this part of the world that has invested heavily in the people and I am so happy about this because it means that there is so much hope for the people of the state and this explains why the state is so peaceful.

“Another significant fact is that after a careful study of various government policies of Osun for its people, we have discovered that the Six-Point Integral Action Plans which the state is using as guide to move the state forward is completely in line with our own policies.”‎


While expressing the hope that the AfDB will fully support the state, the governor explained that the present administration in the state is not frivolous and is ready to make life better for the people of the state.

PDP described the inclusion of the Airport project in the list of projects to be executed with the new loans as very unfortunate, alleging that over N15 billion naira expended on the project could not be accounted for.

1Ebiscoo:
The Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the African Development Bank (AFDB) against granting a loan request by the Rauf Aregbesola-led administration.

It alleged that the money would be diverted.

The party further knocked Governor Aregbesola for allegedly displaying technical education equipment which were bought by the Oyinlola administration in 2009 as if they were freshly procured.

Lending Aregbeshola money, six months to the expiration of his tenure is senseless!

If close to 8years is not enough for him to carry out any project of this magnitude, is it 6months that will be enough

The state is already in huge debts lending him more will be catastrophic election or no election!

Osun people make una shine una don't let these people enrich themselves at your detriment or that of your generation born or yet unborn!
