Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has renewed his administration’s push to attract foreign direct investment, holding a high-level roundtable with political leaders, mayors, and business executives in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.

The meeting, coordinated by Hon. Samuel Oyedotun, Chairman of the Osun State Water Corporation, took place at Zanzibar Cuisine and Lounge and brought together Osun indigenes in Georgia, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and industry leaders across real estate, agriculture, fintech, and automobile sectors.

Governor Adeleke, joined by Revd. Bunmi Jenyo, Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, and Alhaji Gani Olaoluwa, Commissioner for Rural Development, highlighted his government’s reforms in infrastructure, agriculture, and taxation aimed at making Osun one of Nigeria’s most attractive states for investors.

“With our priority in providing solid infrastructure, improving agriculture, and promoting ease of doing business, no one will waste your time setting up a company in Osun. Nobody will demand extra money before you invest in Osun State,” Adeleke said.
“On security, we have strengthened the Amotekun Corps to complement the Police, Army, and NSCDC. Investors can be confident that their businesses will be safe.”

He emphasized that Osun is positioning itself as a safe and profitable destination for global businesses, pledging transparency and investor-friendly governance.

Delivering a vote of thanks, Hon. Oyedotun said Osun indigenes in the U.S. are eager to support the governor’s vision, adding that the roundtable would spur more diaspora contributions to the state’s development.

The event drew notable figures including Hon. Jennifer Aragbata-Etok, Special Adviser to the Delta State Governor; Khalid Kamau, Mayor of South Fulton; Senator Donnella James; Senator Kenya Wick; Rep. Gabe Okoye; Rep. Segun Adeyina; Rep. Kim Schofield; American actor Alphonso A’QenAten Jackson; and gospel singer Darlene “McCoy” Jackson.

Governor Adeleke’s Atlanta engagement forms part of a broader international outreach aimed at positioning Osun as a hub for diaspora-driven growth and foreign partnerships.
