“As we reflect upon the journey, let us acknowledge what shaped our state and chart a course for a brighter and more prosperous future.
“The struggle started as early as 1950s with a series of commissions of inquiry in the defunct Western Region.
“The doggedness of the founding fathers was rewarded on August 27, 1991, when General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida created nine states, including Osun State, with Osogbo as the capital.
“As we embark on this journey, let us remain unwavering in our resolve to leave a legacy of prosperity for generations to come,” he said.
The governor also said the creation of the state was a collective determination to achieve self-governance and development.
