Gov. Ademola Adeleke of Osun has assented to the bill on the new logo for the state, describing it as a sign of new rebirth for the state.

This is contained in a statement issued by the spokesperson to the governor, Olawale Rasheed, on Wednesday in Osogbo.

“I am elated to sign this bill on the new logo into law as a sign of rebirth of our dear state.

“The new logo is significant because it rhymes and meaningfully represents our historic anthem, our values and tradition,” the governor said.

He also said that the new logo was an educational resource material for the younger generation, as it contained symbols of the state’s landmarks, strength, resources and history.

“The logo is also a tool to market the state at home and abroad.

“It is my honour and privilege to introduce the new logo as the symbol of our state,” he said.

This, Adeleke said, would herald a new life of prosperity, abundance and sustainability for residents and admirers of the state.

Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, described the new logo as meaningful and representative of the people, their heritage and potential.

Mr Egbedun congratulated the governor and the people of the state on what he described as a historic occasion.

“For us at the state assembly, we will continue to robustly support the many laudable initiatives of the executive arm of government,” he said.
