“Education is the foundation upon which a prosperous society is built.

APGA Osun calls on Governor Ademola Adeleke to invest in the development and maintenance of critical infrastructure such as roads, electricity, water supply, and telecommunications. These investments will not only enhance the quality of life for the people of Osun State but also attract investors and stimulate economic activities.
“Unemployment remains a significant challenge facing our society. APGA Osun urges Governor Ademola Adeleke to prioritize job creation initiatives and promote an enabling environment for businesses to thrive. By focusing on entrepreneurship, vocational training, and the expansion of industries, the government can empower the youth and create opportunities for sustainable employment,” the statement added.
