OSUNWON IMOLE LAUNCHED, UNVEILED IN OSUN


Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke led government has launched and unveiled the Osunwon Imole, Osun State's standard measuring bowl, held at the Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Osogbo on Monday.

In a statement delivered by His Excellency, represented by the Deputy Governor, Prince Kola Adewusi, Osunwon Imole is a testament to Governor Adeleke's "administration's commitment to fairness, accuracy and transparency in daily trade" across the nooks and crannies of Osun State.

According to the Governor, "it is more than just a measuring bowl — it symbolizes our dedication to improving the quality of life for our people and ensuring that everyone gets fair value for their money".

"For too long, the use of substandard measuring bowls in our markets has caused untold hardship for both buyers and sellers. Many of our traders, knowingly or unknowingly, have used inaccurate measures that lead to losses for consumers and undermine trust in business transactions". 

"Recognizing this challenge, our administration has taken decisive action by introducing Osunwon Imole to restore fairness in trade and protect the interests of all stakeholders".

"There is no doubt that standardization plays a crucial role in economic development. It builds trust, enhances efficiency, and makes our markets more competitive. By adopting Osunwon Imole, we are sending a strong message that Osun State is committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and integrity". 

"This initiative aligns with our broader policy of fostering a thriving business environment, encouraging investments, and promoting sustainable economic growth.The Osunwon Imole will serve as a reliable and accurate measuring tool for our market men and women, ensuring consistency in trade practices". 

"It will eliminate discrepancies, promote transparency, and strengthen trust between buyers and sellers. This will not only benefit individuals but also contribute to the overall economic stability of our state".

"As we launch this new standard measuring bowl today, I urge all stakeholders — our Iyalojas, Babalojas, Egbe-Olowo, and all others who use measuring bowls in their businesses — to embrace this transition wholeheartedly. Let us work together to phase out the old congo measuring system and fully adopt Osunwon Imole. Your cooperation is essential in ensuring that the benefits of this initiative reach every corner of our state".

"I am confident that Osunwon Imole will be a game-changer for Osun State. It will not only improve market practices but also boost public confidence in our trade systems. I look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our economy", the Governor said.

Earlier on his welcome address, the Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, Rev. Bunmi Jenyo, who described the bowl as a symbol of progress, precision and empowerment, said the essence of thriving communities lies in the systems that ensure fairness, consistency and reliability in every transaction, as contained in the Holy Bible and Quran.

According to the Commissioner, "this is why the State government under the administration of the Governor, deemed it fit to produce the Osunwon Imole as a reflection of of our commitment to improving our economy, ensure fair trade practices and fostering trust between traders and consumers".

Presenting the Osunwon Imole to the members of the public, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Market Affairs, Chief Mrs Grace Eniola Omotoso narrated countless efforts of the State government to regulate and standardize marketing transactions in Osun State.

She also noted that Osunwon Imole cannot be compromised by whatever means its name and logo are clearly inscribed on the bowl.

Yeyeluwa Modupeola Adeleke-Sanni who unveiled the Osunwon Imole encouraged traders to adhere strictly to the use of the new innovation of the Adeleke's government, for the betterment of all and sundry.

She advised Osun people to embrace the new dawn of fairness in daily trade across Osun State.
