Our Agenda for Osun: Issues That Matter Most

“Good governance is not about power. It’s about impact. It’s about people.”

We’re building a people-powered future for Osun—starting with six urgent priorities. These are not just campaign issues; they are personal commitments backed by action, experience, and a track record of delivery.

Youth Empowerment & Jobs

The Challenge:

Over 60% of Osun’s population is under the age of 35. Yet, youth unemployment remains dangerously high, fueling poverty, crime, and mass migration out of the state.

Oralusi's Plan

  • Establish the Oralusi Opportunity Hubs in each zone—offering vocational training, tech incubation, startup grants, and mentorship.
  • Expand the Fortune Entrepreneur Accelerator to Osun for early-stage business funding.
  • Partner with global and local companies for paid internships and apprenticeship pathways.

Supporting Data:

“Nigeria’s youth unemployment rate stood at 53% as of Q4 2023.” – National Bureau of Statistics

“Osun has talent. What our young people need is opportunity and belief.” – HBO

Agricultural Revolution & Food Security

The Challenge:

Osun has fertile land but poor productivity. Farmers lack access to markets, storage, finance, and training. The result? High food prices, post-harvest losses, and rural poverty.

Oralusi's Plan

  • Launch AgroTech Osun—a platform for training, mechanisation access, and smart farming.
  • Establish a State Agricultural Investment Fund to support co-operatives and agri-startups.
  • Build Rural Aggregation Centres with cold storage and processing units to reduce waste.

Supporting Data:

“Post-harvest losses in Nigeria amount to over $9 billion annually.” – FAO

“Agriculture must move from survival to prosperity in Osun.” – HBO

Health & Social Welfare

The Challenge:

Primary health centres are underfunded, under-equipped, and understaffed. Mental health and social protection systems are virtually non-existent, especially in rural areas.

Oralusi's Plan

  • Introduce One Ward, One Clinic initiative for accessible primary healthcare.
  • Invest in mobile clinics and telemedicine solutions for remote communities.
  • Create Osun Social Safety Net—supporting elderly citizens, persons with disabilities, and vulnerable families.

Supporting Data:

“Osun State has only 53 general hospitals for a population of over 4 million.” – Nigerian Health Review

“Healthcare is not a privilege; it is a right and a responsibility.” – HBO

Education Reform & Skills Development

The Challenge:

Osun’s educational outcomes remain poor despite high enrolment rates. Infrastructure is dilapidated, teacher morale is low, and the curriculum is disconnected from employability.

Oralusi's Plan

  • Upgrade school facilities through a Smart Schools Program.
  • Recruit and retrain 5,000 teachers under a Teach for Osun initiative.
  • Integrate digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and STEAM education from early levels.

Supporting Data:

“Only 38.7% of candidates from Osun passed the WAEC with credit in 5 subjects in 2023.” – WAEC

“Our children must not be prepared for the past—they must be equipped for the future.” – HBO

Rural Infrastructure & Smart Governance

The Challenge:

Many communities in Osun still lack access to good roads, potable water, reliable electricity, and internet connectivity. Government systems remain opaque and inefficient.

Oralusi's Plan

  • Launch Osun Rural Renewal 2026, focusing on roads, boreholes, and mini-grids.
  • Deploy OpenGov Osun—a digital governance platform for transparency, e-payments, and citizen feedback.
  • Decentralize service delivery through empowered local government systems.

Supporting Data:

“Over 3,000 rural communities in Osun lack basic road access.” – Federal Ministry of Works

“We must bring governance to the people—not just to the capital.” – HBO

Gender Equality & Women's Economic Inclusion

The Challenge:

Despite being pillars of the economy and society, Osun women face unequal access to credit, land, education, and political leadership.

Oralusi's Plan

  • Launch the Osun Women Rising Fund for small business financing and cooperatives.
  • Legislate 35% minimum representation for women in appointments and cabinet roles.
  • Create Girls Code Osun—a digital training pipeline for young women in tech.

Supporting Data:

“Women constitute 49.6% of Osun’s population but less than 10% of leadership positions.” – National Population Commission

“When you invest in women, you invest in families, communities, and the economy.” – HBO
