The governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, has pledged to ensure prompt payment of salaries, improve workers’ welfare and restore dignity to the state’s public service if elected.
Oyebamiji made the pledge while unveiling key aspects of his prosperity agenda, describing it as a practical blueprint for accelerating economic transformation, promoting inclusive governance and delivering sustainable development across Osun State.
He assured civil servants that his administration would prioritise their welfare through regular salary payments, better working conditions and policies aimed at enhancing productivity and professionalism in the public service.
Beyond workers’ welfare, the APC candidate promised to tackle unemployment through public works programmes, enterprise support initiatives and strategic investments designed to create sustainable jobs, particularly for youths.
To stimulate economic growth, Oyebamiji said his administration would strengthen the Osun State Investment Promotion Agency, establish industrial parks with modern infrastructure, improve the ease of doing business and position Osun among Nigeria’s leading investment destinations.
He said strategic economic assets, including the Dagbolu Dry Port, Osun Free Trade Zone, Osun-Osogbo Grove, Oba Hills National Park and the Ido-Osun Airport, would be revived and developed to boost commerce, tourism, entrepreneurship and employment.
According to him, reviving the Dagbolu Dry Port and the Osun Free Trade Zone would improve trade facilitation, strengthen logistics services and position Osun as a competitive industrial and export hub.
“We will resuscitate strategic economic assets that have the capacity to transform Osun’s economy, stimulate private sector investment and create wealth for our people,” Oyebamiji said.
He also pledged greater support for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) through improved access to microcredit, grants and business development services, while expanding entrepreneurship and empowerment programmes for youths and women.
On education and healthcare, Oyebamiji promised to modernise school infrastructure, recruit and train teachers, strengthen technical and vocational education, expand apprenticeship opportunities and upgrade healthcare facilities across the state.
He added that his administration would leverage strategic partnerships to advance universal health coverage and improve access to quality healthcare for residents.
Reaffirming his commitment, Oyebamiji said the Prosperity Agenda represents a covenant with the people of Osun to deliver economic growth, social inclusion and lasting development through prudent leadership, strategic investments and private sector-driven development.
