Osun now attracting new businesses- Governor Oyetola
The governor of Osun state, Mr Adegboyega Oyetola on Friday said the profile of Osun as the most peaceful State in Nigeria and its pedigree as an emerging business and investment destination has made it a point of huge attraction for businesses.
This, he attributed to his administration’s prioritization of inclusive good governance, and diversification of the economy since coming into office three years ago, adding that he was working hard to do even better.
This was just as Oyetola commended the addition of Fresh F.M. 104.9 radio station to the list of businesses operating in Osun State.
Represented by the Secretary to the State Government during the inauguration, Oyetola lauded the media as critical stakeholders in the building of Osun state, adding that the media have performed their roles as the organ statutorily empowered to hold government accountable in the interest of good governance and the people.
Oyetola also commended the media for professionally and responsibly conveying the activities and programmes of the government to the people.
“Fresh FM 104.9 is a welcome addition to the galaxy of media organizations that have provided information, education and entertainment for the people in Osun. The media have been critical stakeholders in the building of the State of Osun since founding and have performed their role as the organ statutorily empowered to hold government accountable in the interest of good governance and the people. You have professionally and responsibly conveyed our activities and programmes to the people. This is the family we welcome Fresh FM 104.9 into”, Oyetola said.
He, however, charged the management of the station to demonstrate the highest level of journalism ethics and professionalism, including, fairness, balance, accuracy, integrity and responsibility.
He urged the station to perform its role in the national interest and the public good so that it can compete in the rich and conducive environment that Osun provides, while making government responsive and responsible to the people.
“Osun has a huge population of citizens with varying interests. The State also has a rich climate for generating news and feature, including economy, politics, culture, tradition, tourism, business and investment. Fresh FM 104.9 must make efforts to explore these rich areas for the listening pleasure of its audience and its profitability,” Oyetola added.
Earlier in his remark, the General Manager of Fresh F.M. Osogbo, Mr Akinkunmi Alabi, commended the friendly atmosphere that Osun provides, assuring of the Station’s readiness to partner with the government in ensuring the development of the State.
