Governor Adeleke reassures marketers, citizens affected by incessant natural disaster

GOVERNOR ADELEKE REASSURES MARKETERS, CITIZENS AFFECTED BY INCESSANT NATURAL DISASTER

The Executive Governor of Osun State, Sen. Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke has restated his commitment to the rehabilitation of some facilities, recently affected by the heavy rainstorm within Osogbo, the State Capital.

This was part of the statement made by the Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Rev. Dr. Bunmi Jenyo, when he paid an unscheduled visit to the latest vandalisation in the Ayegbaju International Maket, Ogooluwa, Osogbo on Tuesday.

The Commissioner who was accompanied by the Management Team of the Ministry directed the Market Management to immediately find means to secure the facility, from further disaster.

The fence of the Ayegbaju International Market, during the latest attack on Monday, 13th April was badly affected by the rainstorm, exposing the market to reptiles, rodents and unguarded entrance of miscreants into the market premises.

Recall that the first natural disaster in the market was on 28th March 2026 when the rainstorm removed the roofing sheets, electrical poles, asbestos and other facilities within the market.

He therefore charged the Market Consultant, Mr. Segun Adeyemo to brace up, rise above unavoidable challenges and swing into actions on protecting the traders, market women and men from further harm that the natural disaster might have generated.

Dr. Jenyo emphasised that Governor Adeleke will not relent in his commitment to safeguard the interests of Osun citizens, and security of goods, services and sources of livelihood of the traders will not be taken for granted.

He promised that the State government facility will soon be rehabilitated to encourage commercial activities of the Ayegbaju International Market and Osun State as a whole.
