Osun State Government has unveiled a new investment portal aimed at boosting direct investment and strengthening the ease of doing business in the state.
In a press release on Sunday, the state’s Commissioner for Information and Enlightenment, Kolapo Alimi, explained that one of the key features of the portal is its integration with the state’s flagship “Certificate of Occupancy in 45 Days” (CofoIn45Days) programme and the Harmonized Bill, both designed to cut red tape, improve transparency, and accelerate business approvals.
The digital platform, launched on Sunday, was introduced by the state governor, Ademola Adeleke, as part of his administration’s commitment to attracting both local and foreign investors.
Alimi noted that the platform serves as a gateway to get information on how to establish businesses in Osun.
“The portal, conceptualised and delivered under the Office of the Special Adviser on Innovation, Science, Technology, and Digital Economy, serves as a one-stop digital gateway for investors. It provides comprehensive information on investment opportunities, sector profiles, incentives, and step-by-step guidance for establishing businesses in Osun.
“It also complements the Governor’s flagship ease-of-doing-business initiatives, including the Certificate of Occupancy in 45 Days (CofoIn45Days) programme and the Harmonised Bill, both designed to cut red tape, improve transparency, and make Osun one of the most investor-friendly states in Nigeria.”
Explaining the features further, Alimi said the portal “offers Sector-Based Investment Guides – covering agriculture, mining, tourism, manufacturing, ICT, trade, and more.
“Investor Support Services—including land acquisition facilitation, tax incentives, permits, and licensing assistance.
“User-Friendly Interface—making it easy for investors to connect with opportunities and resources. With this platform, Osun State is showcasing its strategic location, reliable infrastructure, abundant resources, skilled workforce, and investor-focused policies — positioning the State as a hub for trade, industry, and innovation in Nigeria and West Africa.”
He quoted Governor Adeleke reaffirming his administration’s mission to institutionalise ease of doing business in Osun and how the government’s reforms aimed to provide direct assistance to investors.
The Investment Portal is powered by the Osun State Investment Promotion Agency in collaboration with the Office of the Special Adviser on Innovation, Science.
