Ease of Doing Business: Osun to inaugurate One-Stop-Shop

The Government of the State of Osun, southwest Nigeria will inaugurate a “One-Stop-Shop” to enhance the ease of doing business in the State on June 2, 2021.

The Government will also launch 2G, 3G and 4G connectivity within the State Government Secretariat, Osogbo, in order to upgrade and boost internet facilities and network connectivity within and outside the Secretariat and enhance workers’ productivity.

The initiative is part of the Administration’s objectives to ensure a friendly environment for commerce, business and investment, aimed at promoting economic growth, prosperity and impactful development within the State.

Speaking on the development, the Special Adviser to the Governor and CEO of Osun Investment Promotion Agency (OSIPA), Mr Femi Adeniran, said the initiative would go a long way to promote investment, attract investors and as well, promote Ease of Doing Business in the State.

According to him, the One-Stop-Shop had been designed to serve as a place where critical agencies that would manage end-to-end sectors of new businesses would work.

He said this would ease start up businesses’ effort to open their enterprises within a short time frame.

Adeniran noted that the government had activated its partnership with one of the leading telecommunication companies, Airtel, for improved voice and data (internet) connectivity within the State Secretariat.

He said the arrangement was expected to enhance efficiency and productivity across all Ministries, Departments and Agencies operating within the Secretariat.

“We are indeed very excited about this partnership, which is one of the several initiatives in the pipeline under the Ease of Doing Business Umbrella.

“With improved connectivity and data access by staff and visitors to all our MDAs, we are optimistic that turnaround time for communication, processes and approvals will be reduced and this will promote overall efficiency, effectiveness and productivity”

Recall that Governor Adegboyega Oyetola recently inaugurated the Osun Ease of Doing Business Council with the mandate to ensure a friendly environment for commerce, business, investments and investors, aimed at promoting economic growth, prosperity and impactful development within the State of Osun.
