The Oyo State Government has reiterated its commitment to transforming the cooperative sector through digitalisation, improved accountability and institutional reforms aimed at strengthening financial inclusion and promoting sustainable economic growth.

The Honourable Commissioner for Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Professor Salihu Abdulwaheed Adelabu, stated this at the Annual General Meeting of Wabillahi Taofeeq Islamic Cooperative, held on Saturday, where the society unveiled its mobile application and digitalised passbook for members.

The Commissioner, who was represented by the Director of Cooperative Services in the Ministry, Mr Idowu Olawoyin, commended the leadership and members of the society for embracing technological innovation, describing the initiative as a significant step towards modernising cooperative administration and improving service delivery.

Delivering the Commissioner’s keynote address titled “Digital Transformation of Cooperative Societies in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: A Pathway to Transparency, Accountability, Financial Inclusion and Sustainable Growth,” Olawoyin emphasised that digital technology had become essential to the effective management and sustainability of modern cooperative institutions.

He noted that digital platforms could improve membership registration, savings and contributions monitoring, loan administration, financial reporting and communication between cooperative management and members. He also highlighted the opportunities offered by Artificial Intelligence in financial analysis, risk assessment, transaction monitoring and informed management decisions.

According to him, the Oyo State Government, under the leadership of Governor Seyi Makinde, recognises cooperative societies as vital instruments of grassroots economic development, employment generation, financial inclusion and poverty reduction.

He highlighted ongoing initiatives of the Ministry, through the Department of Cooperative Services, including the digitalisation and revalidation of cooperative societies, statewide sensitisation programmes, strengthened regulatory administration and alignment with the Federal Government’s National Cooperative Digitalisation Programme.

He further explained that the State’s participation in the National Technical Workshop on Cooperative Sector Digitalisation, held in Abuja on August 11 and 12, 2026, underscored its commitment to aligning its cooperative development agenda with the emerging national framework, including the National Cooperative Smart Registry, Cooperative Verification Number and Cooperative Member Identification Number.

The Commissioner encouraged Wabillahi Taofeeq Islamic Cooperative to ensure that its newly introduced application provides reliable financial information, strengthens members’ confidence and guarantees adequate protection of their personal and financial information. He also stressed the importance of training members, particularly those who may not be familiar with digital technology, to ensure that nobody is excluded from the benefits of the innovation.

He particularly noted that Islamic cooperative institutions could leverage technology to promote ethical financing, responsible investments and economic empowerment in line with Sharia-compliant financial principles.

He therefore urged other cooperative societies across the State to embrace digitalisation, participate actively in the ongoing revalidation exercise, maintain accurate financial records, strengthen internal controls and ensure regular financial audits.

Earlier, the President of Wabillahi Taofeeq Islamic Cooperative, Engr. Sheu Oladele, expressed appreciation to the Honourable Commissioner for his support and representation at the occasion. He also appealed to the Oyo State Government to give Islamic cooperative societies due consideration in the distribution of assistance and other support extended to cooperative organisations across the State.

The Annual General Meeting featured the presentation of the society’s accounts, distribution of dividends to members, unveiling of the mobile application and digitalised members’ passbooks, as well as the presentation of a bus and motorcycles to deserving members.

Among the dignitaries present was Chief Taiwo Oke, alongside other distinguished guests and stakeholders in the cooperative sector.

The initiative further demonstrates the growing capacity of cooperative societies in Oyo State to embrace innovation, strengthen institutional governance and contribute meaningfully to the State Government’s vision of a vibrant, digitally enabled and economically productive cooperative sector

The Oyo State Government has reaffirmed the importance of scientific innovation, technological advancement and youth development as essential drivers of sustainable growth.

The Honourable Commissioner for Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Professor Salihu Abdulwaheed Adelabu, made this known while delivering an address as a specially invited guest speaker at the 2026 Robotics Competition of the Science Teachers Association of Nigeria (STAN), Oyo State Chapter.

The competition, held at the Olola F.O. Ogunlana Hall, University of Ibadan, brought together students to showcase their creativity and problem-solving abilities through robotics innovations and an inter-school debate on the theme, “AI and Robotics: Threat or Opportunity for Africa?”

Speaking at the event, Professor Adelabu highlighted the growing relevance of robotics and artificial intelligence to industrial development, productivity and global competitiveness. He noted that technological innovation has become an important driver of modern economic advancement, making it necessary for young people to acquire relevant knowledge and practical skills to prepare for emerging opportunities in a rapidly changing world.

The Commissioner emphasised the value of connecting academic knowledge with practical innovation, encouraging students to develop their talents, think creatively and explore scientific solutions to real-life challenges. He also underscored the importance of exposing young people to hands-on learning, experimentation and technological development from an early age, noting that such experiences can nurture curiosity, strengthen critical thinking and inspire future scientists, engineers and technology entrepreneurs.

A major highlight of the event was the presentation of gifts by Professor Adelabu to the students and schools that emerged first, second and third in the competition. He congratulated the winners on their achievements, encouraged them to remain committed to learning and innovation, and took photographs with the award recipients to celebrate their success.

St. Bernadine’s Girls’ Grammar School, Oyo, was identified as the overall winner in the reported results, with student innovators Demilade and Tamilore associated with the school’s achievement. Their performance demonstrated the potential of young people to apply scientific knowledge and technical creativity to practical challenges.

The competition, organised by STAN Oyo State Chapter with support from sponsors and other stakeholders, provided a platform for students to demonstrate their technical abilities, research skills and analytical thinking while exploring the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies in Africa.

The Oyo State Government recognises that equipping young people with scientific knowledge, technical competence and the confidence to innovate is important to building a skilled and productive generation capable of contributing to the state’s development and Nigeria’s technological future.

Professor Adelabu’s participation and encouragement of the award-winning students reinforced the importance of recognising young talent and inspiring continued excellence in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

The Oyo State Government has renewed its commitment to strengthening the industrial sector through sustained engagement with industries, improved workers’ welfare, regulatory compliance and measures aimed at creating a more conducive environment for businesses to thrive.

The Commissioner for Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Professor Salihu Adelabu, stated this on Thursday during a routine visitation to selected industries in the State, including Sumal Foods Limited, Seven-Up Bottling Company, Zartech Limited, Polyfilm packaging Nigeria limited and Nisalee Industries Limited.

Professor Adelabu explained that the exercise was part of the Ministry’s continuous engagement with industries to review developments, follow up on previous observations, understand emerging challenges and strengthen collaboration between Government and the private sector.

He stressed that the visitation was not intended to witch-hunt industries, but to add value to their operations, provide necessary guidance and ensure that the interests of workers, businesses, consumers and the wider society are protected.

The Commissioner said the Ministry had reviewed reports from previous visits to ascertain the extent to which issues earlier identified, particularly those relating to workers’ welfare and workplace facilities, had been addressed.

He commended the industries for their contributions to employment generation and economic development, noting that businesses that employ large numbers of people contribute significantly to reducing unemployment and creating productive opportunities for residents.

Professor Adelabu also disclosed that the Ministry was working on a proposed State Trade Policy, to be jointly facilitated and developed by relevant State and Federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, as well as identified critical private-sector organisations.

He explained that the initiative was among the measures being pursued by the Government to create a stronger framework for trade and business development in the State and to ensure that the realities and needs of industries and other stakeholders are adequately captured in Government policy.

The Commissioner urged industries to maintain close communication with the Ministry, describing it as their mother ministry, so that their genuine challenges and areas requiring Government intervention could be properly documented and presented to the Executive Governor of Oyo State Engineer Seyi Makinde, for consideration in policy and budget decisions.

The Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Industry and Cooperatives, Honourable Adeyemo Emmanuel, said the visitation reflected the administration’s determination to maintain direct engagement with the industrial sector and understand the conditions under which businesses operate.

He noted that such engagements would help the Government identify practical areas where industries require support, while also encouraging companies to sustain responsible industrial practices that contribute to employment, workers’ welfare and the development of their host communities.

Also speaking, the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Trade and Export Promotion, Honourable Kolawole Ojo Ayoola, said the visitation was important in giving Government a clearer understanding of the realities within the State’s industrial sector.

He noted that direct interaction with industry operators provides an opportunity for the Government to receive first-hand information on their operations, concerns and areas where further collaboration may be required, adding that such engagements would help strengthen communication between the government and the private sector.

The Commissioner assured them that their concerns would be documented and considered through the appropriate government channels, stressing the importance of continuous dialogue between government and the private sector in addressing challenges affecting industrial operations.

During the visits, management and workers of the companies interacted with the delegation and highlighted measures put in place to improve staff welfare, including health facilities, insurance arrangements, contributory pension schemes and other workplace amenities.

The companies also highlighted their corporate social responsibility initiatives in their host communities, including road maintenance, support for electricity infrastructure, provision of community facilities and fire-fighting assistance.

Some of the industrialists, however, appealed to the State Government for continued intervention in areas such as multiple taxation, road infrastructure, electricity, gas supply and timely waste disposal, noting that these challenges increase their operating costs.

The industrial visitation is an ongoing exercise, with other industries across Oyo State to be visited subsequently as the exercise progresses.

The continued engagement is expected to strengthen government-industry relations, improve the documentation of industrial activities and challenges, promote workers’ welfare and support the State Government’s efforts to create a more conducive environment for industrial growth, trade and investment.

The visitation, led by Professor Adelabu, included the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Industry and Cooperatives; Honourable Adeyemo Emmanuel; the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Trade and Export Promotion, Honourable Kolawole Ojo Ayoola and representative of the Executive Adviser to the Governor on Security Matters; Ministry of Information delegate and the management team of the Ministry.

The Oyo State Government has inaugurated the Babaloja General-in-Council, as part of efforts to strengthen market leadership, promote unity, and enhance coordination among traders across the State.

Speaking during the inauguration ceremony held at the Ministry’s Conference Room, the Commissioner for Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Honourable Adeniyi Olabode Adebisi, said the constitution of the Council followed a formal request by the Babaloja General of Oyo State, Alhaji Y.K. Abass, for a unified structure for market leadership across the State.

The Commissioner disclosed that the Ministry directed the Babaloja General to embark on sensitisation programmes across all geopolitical zones, noting that the exercise received widespread acceptance and support from traders.

Honourable Adebisi explained that the Council would serve as a central voice for traders, strengthen communication between government and market stakeholders, and promote peace and orderliness in markets across the State.

Declaring the Council inaugurated on behalf of the Executive Governor of Oyo State, Engineer Seyi Makinde, the Commissioner described the Governor as a pacesetter committed to inclusive governance and sustainable economic development.

He warned that the Government would not tolerate actions capable of disrupting peaceful coexistence among traders, stressing that the inauguration marked a significant step towards resolving longstanding crises within market associations in the State.

In his remarks, the Babaloja General of Oyo State, Alhaji Y.K. Abass, commended the State Government and the Ministry for facilitating what he described as a historic initiative aimed at unifying traders across all zones of the State.

He assured that the Council would work towards strengthening market structures, resolving disputes amicably, and supporting policies that would drive economic growth and development in Oyo State.

The Permanent Secretary emphasized that Government engagement with market associations is guided by due process, structured policies, and proper coordination to ensure fairness, inclusiveness, and peaceful coexistence.

Commissioner for Information,

Oyo State.

The Oyo State Government has commenced a renewed and strategic statewide data collection and collation exercise for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across all the 33 Local Government Areas and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) in the State to strengthen economic planning and expand access to Government and international support initiatives.

The initiative was formally flagged off on Wednesday at the Conference Room of the Ministry of Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Secretariat, Ibadan.

Flagging off the programme, the Commissioner for Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Hon. Adeniyi Olabode Adebisi, stated that the engagement was designed as a “train-the-trainer” session to equip selected participants as aggregators for the Statewide MSMEs data capture exercise.

The Commissioner who spoke through the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Mr. Olajide Okesade, explained that the aggregators would be responsible for coordinating data collection efforts within their respective Local Government Areas by working with ten trained agents each, thereby ensuring widespread and efficient coverage across the State.

He noted that a similar exercise conducted in 2024 provided valuable insights but also revealed the need for improved accuracy and validation of data collected.

According to him, “This initiative is aimed at improving the quality and reliability of MSMEs data in Oyo State. We observed gaps in the previous exercise, particularly inconsistencies in critical identification details such as Bank Verification Number (BVN) and National Identification Number (NIN). This training is therefore essential to ensure that all data collected going forward is accurate, verifiable, and fit for planning and intervention purposes.”

He charged participants to approach the assignment with diligence, professionalism, and a high level of technical accuracy to avoid discrepancies that could hinder beneficiaries from accessing Government and development partner interventions.

In his presentation, the Consultant to the Oyo State Government and Chief Executive Officer of Global Sight Services Limited, Mr. Dayo Bello, described the exercise as a critical step toward building a credible and comprehensive MSMEs database for the State.

He emphasized that the data collection covers a broad spectrum of MSMEs, including traders, artisans, farmers, and small-scale industrialists, noting that accurate data remains a key requirement for accessing funding and support from government, federal agencies, and international development partners.

Mr. Bello explained that the decision to undertake a fresh round of data collection was informed by the need to address inaccuracies observed in the 2024 dataset, which limited its effectiveness for programme implementation.

He further assured participants of a seamless and technology-driven process, noting that data captured in any part of the State would be transmitted in real time to a centralized database.

Mr. Bello also reiterated that the exercise would provide equitable opportunities for all MSMEs, including those who may have participated in the previous exercise, to be recaptured under the improved system.

The meeting engaged major stakeholders on export growth in Oyo State.

The Commissioner for Investment, Trade, Cooperatives and Industry, Hon. Adeniyi Adebisi, made this known today during the stakeholders’ engagement held at the ministry’s conference room in Ibadan.

Hon. Adebisi emphasized that the meeting was a strategic move by the State to deepen collaboration with regulatory agencies, agro-allied entrepreneurs, financial institutions, and exporters to boost Oyo’s presence in international markets.

He noted that Oyo State is determined to harness its comparative advantage in cashew, cocoa, shea butter, cassava, and other agro-allied products to unlock wealth, create jobs, and increase internally generated revenue.

The Commissioner said that Oyo State is the first subnational in Africa to develop African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) strategy, attracting a visit from the AfCFTA Secretary General.

Leveraging its location and trade infrastructure, the state aims to boost economic growth, reduce poverty, and align with continental trade protocols.

Key initiatives include AfDB recognition as an agro-processing zone and regional cooperation with Southwest states.

Oyo sets a model for subnational leadership in Africa’s economic integration.

The Commissioner explained ongoing State interventions in regulatory reforms and export facilitation.

These include engaging agencies like the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), establishing a Trade Grievance Resolution Office, and supporting executive bills to ease export processes.

He urged stakeholders to bring forward export-related legislative suggestions through the Ministry, saying, “If you have a legislation that works for you, come to us. It is better and faster to go as an executive bill than for you to do it individually. Why waste time and resources?”
He also cited the example of branding Ogbomoso cashew for global visibility, stating: “If it requires that we produce bags and write ‘Ogbomoso’ on them, we will move cashew successfully for exportation.”

The Permanent Secretary, Mr. Olajide Okesade stressed the Ministry’s vision to transition from a local trade mindset to a structured, export-driven economy.

The President, Oyo State Shippers Association and CEO of Oklan Best Nigeria Ltd., Mrs. Elizabeth Olanrewaju Nwanko shared insights from her experience exporting beans, yam, egusi, and fish to Europe and North America.

She identified barriers such as high tariffs, lack of proper product certification, and the tendency of exporters to route goods through Ghana, Togo, and Benin Republic due to their friendlier trade policies.

She advocated for land allocation in Ogbomoso, Shaki, and Tede for cashew and shea plantations, use of GPS for farm monitoring, and enforcement of tree-felling laws. “There’s global demand for 500,000 metric tons of shea butter—Oyo can tap into this if we act strategically,” she emphasized.

The representative of the Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (NAHCO), Prince Aderemi Adejobi, revealed that NAHCO has established export processing centers in Lagos and plans to replicate them in other cities.

These centers aim to help farmers meet international standards, reduce spoilage through cold-chain infrastructure, and eliminate export rejection risks.

He stressed that these hubs will be vital in aggregating farm produce for efficient and compliant export operations.

Assistant Director and Oyo State Trade Promotion Advisor at the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Mrs. Bolanle Emmanuel, outlined various incentives and programs available for Oyo exporters, including the Export Expansion Grant (EEG), Export Development Fund (EDF), and training workshops.

She clarified that NEPC provides free advisory support, though obtaining an export certificate involves a fee ranging from ₦7,500 to ₦13,500 depending on the renewal timeline.

The representative of Parallex Bank, Mr. Adepoju Mojeed, disclosed that the bank recently received a $10 million facility from Afreximbank to support SMEs, particularly in agriculture and export trade.
He encouraged farmers and agro-processors to access credit through cooperatives, pay mandatory export fees (NESS), and leverage opportunities for collateral-free loans and capacity-building programs.

The engagement marked a significant step toward positioning Oyo State as a formidable player in Nigeria’s export sector. Stakeholders agreed to maintain close collaboration with the State Government and to fully leverage platforms such as the “Omituntun Export Initiative” for sustainable growth and inclusive economic development.

Direction to the Process of GRM

The Oyo State Government said it has accommodated former occupants into the redeveloped Bola Ige International Business Complex, New Gbagi, Ibadan.

Commissioner for Trade, Industry, Investment, and Cooperatives, Mr. Adeniyi Adebisi made this known while speaking with journalists in Ibadan on Monday.

He said that the project has been completed, and former occupants have been accommodated in the Government’s share of the project as promised.

He said that the Oyo State Government has demonstrated its commitment to the welfare of traders by ensuring that they are not displaced during the redevelopment process.

According to him, “The Ministry enumerated the present occupants of the project site to accommodate qualified ones among them upon completion of the second phase.”

He added that the Ministry had series of engagements with all stakeholders, including market elders, market executives, zonal leaders and the developers handling the second phase of the international market to benefit everyone and as well be on the same page.

“However, it is essential to note that no single trader has come forward to the complain about the project or the developer. This suggests that the majority of traders are satisfied with the Government’s initiatives and are eager to benefit from the redevelopment” he said.

The Commissioner reiterated that the Oyo State Government has a proven track record of supporting traders and business owners, which include the provision of infrastructure, access to finance, and training programmes.

He added that these efforts have contributed significantly to the growth and development of businesses in the State while traders are not left behind in the development process, urging those who are yet to benefit from the Government’s initiatives to come forward and engage with the Ministry.

Hon. Adebisi underscored the State Government’s dedication to economic development and traders empowerment through the redevelopment of the Bola Ige International Business Complex.

He stressed that these initiatives have been positively received by most traders, while also acknowledging and appreciating Government’s efforts.
