Gov Adeleke Says Osun Free Trade Zone Is Investment-Ready As Chinese Investors Visit Him In Osogbo
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has flaunted the State of the Living Spring’s business opportunities and high scores on the ease of doing business rating, calling on genuine entrepreneurs to establish business in the Osun Free Trade zone.
A statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by the governor’s spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed noted that he said this when a delegation of multi-sectoral investors from China visited him at the Government House, Osogbo on Thursday evening.
Governor Adeleke told the delegation that Osun State is bridging infrastructural deficit to ease the business environment while the state’s Free Trade Zone has several openings for willing investors.
According to the governor, a number of investors have commenced activities at the Trade Zone and other industrial hubs across the state, commending the Chinese delegation for choosing Osun State as an investment destination.
‘You are warmly welcome to the State of the Living Spring. We are fixing our roads, bridges, schools, utilities, health infrastructures among others. We know good infrastructure facilitates business and economic growth. Hence, we are reducing Osun infra deficit.
We harmonize and automate our tax regime. This has reduced the pressure on Osun businesses. We implemented a 48 hours regime for acquisition of certificates of occupancy (CofO) under an automated regime. Our ease of doing business rating is very high.
So, you have come to the right place. Our Ministry of Commerce and Industry is run by a team with international exposure. You will be granted the best of support and facilitation services by our government’ the governor told the delegation.
Speaking on behalf of the management of Shanghai Fadewei International Trade Company Limited, Dr. Yusuf Fadairo said the Chinese team chose Osun State because of two reasons; their love for David Adeleke (Davido) and multiple reports of the good governance delivered by the governor.
Fadairo noted that Davido is more popular in China than Nigeria, a situation that has also facilitated interest of many Chinese in Governor Ademola Adeleke.
According to him, reports about the wonderful performance of Governor Adeleke across media platforms marked Osun out as a safe investment destination, assuring that the company is interested in securing up multiple factories at the Osun State free trade zone.
‘We have inspected the zone and we are satisfied with the utilities and facilities. We are set to act once all other regulatory issues are concluded’ he noted.
Other members of the team include Mr. Zheng Lifa (Amusement park building and operation), Mr. Zhai Yikang (paint production), Mr. Yu Lu (paint production) , Mr. Yao Weide (electric tricycle), Prince Charles Ajiboye (Logistics Manager) and Mr. Bamigboye Olabode (Company Engineer) Shanghai Fadewei International Trade Company Limited.
