In a message on the platform’s first anniversary, he said: “One of the key benefits of the initiative is to create and raise employment by assisting local producers and sellers from Osun to increase the demand for their products through adequate market visibility which we believe will lead to the economic growth of the state.

There are over 2,000 producers who have listed their products and services on the platform directly without the middleman.’’
