The Honourable Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo has assured the Executives and members of Southwest Commodities Farmers Organization, of the current administration’s commitment to promote the market of agricultural produce in Osun State.

This was part of the Commissioner’s response to the requests of the organization, Osun State Chapter, under the chairmanship of Alhaji Rauf Okunade Adeyemo and other members of the Executives who paid him a working visit in his office on Thursday.

The Commissioner who referred the organization to the Ministry of Agriculture for other benefits, asserted that his ministry (Commerce and Industry) will assist the organization in the commercial aspect of their activities.

This, according to the Commissioner, involves marketing of their commodities with acceptable standards within both their organization, market women and men and by extension, members of the public.

According to the Commissioner, “while I apologize for my inability to meet you earlier than this because of our schedule of work, I must commend your bold efforts to let the government know your challenges, as an organization. And you can be rest assured that Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke is ever prepared to put smiles on your faces”.

According to Alhaji Adeyemo “market women always frustrated the efforts of farmers, they always wanted to dictate prices of products to the farmers, which is at a loss to farmers. This is inappropriate and unacceptable”.

He charged the Governor Adeleke’s administration to come to their rescue without further delay. “The government should kindly intervene, so as not to allow the market women to enslave us any longer”.

He also charged the government of Osun State to bring about a uniform measurement and price in the markets across the length and breadth of the State.
