Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola has said that Osun State is one of the best states in Nigeria because according to the National Bureau of Statistics, Osun had the highest Development Index in 2012.

Aregbesola in a statement by his media aide, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon said Osun is undoubtedly one of the best places in Nigeria.

Aregbesola said “As horrifying as the pictures our opposition have been painting to you, I am sure that with your physical presence, you would have noticed that all what they are saying do not reflect in the faces of the accommodating people you see around.

“You would have also noticed that Osun is one of the best places to be in Nigeria. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, an agent of the Federal Government, Osun is the state with the highest development index in Nigeria in 2012.

“The Bureau equally said we are next to Niger State in poverty reduction index and we would have been above Niger State because the large chunk of Niger’s rating was influenced because of their boundary with Abuja and others.”

On the construction of airport at Ido-Osun, he said “It will not take time to develop the airport to aircraft maintenance hub in Africa. We only have just three aircraft maintenance hangers in the whole of Africa. We need not go to Europe or America to get the aircraft in Africa maintained.

“All we need to attract that business is to develop the facility that we have in Ido-Osun. We have signed an agreement with two hanger operation firms, knowing that aircraft maintenance business is a money spinning investment.”
