Osun State Government is on the mission of generating 15,000 jobs annually through industrial development, technical and vocational centres in the state.
The State Commissioner for Commerce, Industry, Cooperatives and Empowerment, Dr. Bode Olaonipekun, unveiled the plans during a chat with newsmen in Osogbo on Thursday.
Dr Olanipekun, who spoke after a meeting with the leadership of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency and the management of the Industrial Development Centre, explained that the initiative was aimed at empowering the residents and generating employment for youths.
He said, “This is a post-pandemic initiative to revive the economy and we are here particularly to address one of the focal areas of this administration – to rejuvenate the economy and empower the citizens.”
In another development, the Osun government on Thursday announced new guidelines for the second phase of the gradual reopening of the state’s economy, following the lockdown imposed by the government in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. Gboyega Oyetola relaxed the curfew in the state as part of efforts toward reopening of the economy.
The total lockdown earlier imposed on the state from Friday to Sunday has now been eased for the next 14 days in the first instance. The new curfew will now be from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily.
The governor also directed Civil servants on level 7 and above to resume work within normal office hours, while each department should work out and alternate working hours for workers on grade levels 1 to 6.”
