Osun state government has declared a whopping 760% growth on its investment base through diversification into Oil and Gas, Modern Poultry, Agro-allied, and a host of other ventures.
The Managing Director of Omoluabi Holdings Limited(OHL), formerly called Osun State Investment Company(OSICOL), Dr. Tunde Fakeye made this known to newsmen on Wednesday during a media briefing.
He said the agency commenced it’s operation in 2011 with a capital base of N300m, and built it up to N3.6 billion as at 2017, which represents a total of 760% increase within the spate of 6 years.
Fakeye adduced the speedy growth to array of innovations and business idea the present administration in the state introduced, which has helped the agency in no small way.
He, however, called on other states to go into business ventures and build a reliable Internally Generated Revenue(IGR) that would sustain the states in the face of dwindling monthly allocations from the federation account.

According to him, “to avoid confusion, the same agency the previous government christened Osun State Investment Company (OSICOL) is the same agency that has been renamed by Aregbesola’s administration as Omoluabi Holdings Limited.
“With the new mandate since the present administration came on board in 2010, Omoluabi Holdings Limited has grown from being a state-managed business concern to a conglomerate handling multiple businesses.
“We are able to achieve this relative success with our routing of strategic Investments through application of private sector efficiency and profit focus at handling projects.


“Omoluabi Holdings has subsidiaries in Oil and gas, modern poultry and establishment of Agro-Allied Company. We also have interest in quarry business and Cocoa plantation farms, to mention but few.”

Clear and efficient signing is an essential part of highway and traffic engineering and a road with poor signing or with badly maintained signs is classed as an unsatisfactory road. With this in mind, Nigerian roads could be classed as unsatisfactory, as they are bare of road signs. Road users depend on signing for information and guidance, enforceme...

Northern youths warn Obasanjo over attacks on Buhari

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has lambasted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for his attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari. Obasanjo recently advised Nigerians not to re-elect Buhari in 2019 . But the group in a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday, slammed the ex president for the comment. “For quite some time, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has turned himself into a self-appointed messiah in the efforts to define the political and democratic future of this country. “And the result of this meddlesomeness by the former president has been disastrous for the country,” the group said. AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him. The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Niger...
