Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke says the Osun Free Trade Zone is primed for immediate business take-off.
He gave the assurance while receiving a team of Chinese multi-sectoral investors.
In a statement by spokesperson to the governor, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, the delegation from Shanghai Fadewei International Trade Company Limited met with the governor at the Government House, Osogbo.
During the meeting, Governor Adeleke highlighted his administration’s reforms designed to improve the state’s ease of doing business, from infrastructure upgrades to tax system automation.
Senator Adeleke urged the visitors to take advantage of the openings available at the Free Trade Zone and other industrial hubs across the state.
He also commended the company for choosing Osun, saying his administration’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry is equipped to give investors the best of support and facilitation services.
Speaking on behalf of the Chinese delegation, Dr. Yusuf Fadairo of Shanghai Fadewei International Trade Company Limited explained that the team’s interest in Osun was driven by two factors, their admiration for global music star David Adeleke (Davido) and widespread reports of governor Adeleke’s performance.
Dr. Fadairo disclosed that the group had already inspected the Osun Free Trade Zone and was impressed with the available facilities.
The delegation included specialists in amusement park development, paint production, and electric tricycles, Mr. Zheng Lifa, Mr. Zhai Yikang, Mr. Yu Lu, Mr. Yao Weide, Prince Charles Ajiboye, and Mr. Bamigboye Olabode.
