nothing that Osogbo, the State capital, is referred to as ‘Ilu Aro’

consciousness towards socio-cultural and artistic renaissance in
the State.

Government, Prince Wole Oyebamiji, stressed that the State under
his watch would continue to support the cause of employing
indigenous resources to grow her revenue base.

Oyetola said, “I wish to recall that at the inauguration of this
administration under my leadership, I did state that the economy of
our State should be repositioned and that Economic Summit would be
organised to, among other initiatives, develop strategies that
would drive meaningful youth employment, enhance food security and
agricultural development, activate mining prospects and boost the
tourism potential of the State.

“You will also recall that I stated in my inauguration speech
that the Medium and Small-Scale Enterprises would be strengthened
to enhance their productive capacity so as to generate jobs, create
wealth and further boost our local economy.

“I also promised that the State of Osun would be made a cultural
destination and tourism enterprise zone in the South West.

“It is in line with the above Vision that the Government has
swung into action by harnessing all the various tourism resources
that the State is greatly endowed with.

“Due to the various commitments of the State Government, the
Federal Government and other Private and Public Development
Partners are collaborating with the State for the provision of
infrastructure and the upgrade of our cultural and tourism sites to
global standards.”

Oyetola announced that “it has become compulsory henceforth, for
all the Public and Civil Servants to wear Adire same day as part of
efforts to quicken the actualisation of the set objectives of the
initiative as Osun remains the leading light in African culture and
tradition in the country”.

He also urged the residents to take advantage of the
opportunities offered by the initiative to draw economic
opportunities and benefits to themselves for huge economic
development.

“In furtherance of efforts of this Government to preserve and
promote the production of Adire Osun as well as bolster the image
of Osun as a culturally correct and indigenous product inclined
