Governor Oyetola Task State Public Office Holders To Invest In Osun Utd, Osun Babes

The Osun State Government is set to make both Osun United and Osun Babes Football Club generate revenue yearly from the sales of jerseys to political public office holders in the state.

Both state owned teams feature in the Nigeria National League (NNL) and National Women Football League (NWFL) Premiership.

In a memo from the state Ministry of Finance, as directed by His Excellency Governor Adegboyega Oyetola mandating all political public office holders to invest in the state clubs.

Both club players have in time past complained about their welfare and salary packages with protest.

This instruction might in the long run help  generate funds for both club to meet their financial demands.

To achieve this, part of the salaries of the state’s political office holders will be deducted to enable them to get jerseys of Osun United and Osun Babes.

The memo read, I am directed to refer to the above subject and convey the approval of Mr. Governor to your Office in respect of the sales of Osun United and Osun Babes Football Club Jerseys (Home and Away) to all Political Office Holders in the Public Service of the State including Hon. Commissioners, Special Advisers (SAS), Senior Special Assistants (SSAS), Honourable Members of the State House of Assembly, Local Government Political Functionaries and others.

In view of the foregoing, you are requested to use your good offices to effect one-off deduction of Twenty-four Thousand Naira (N24,000.00) from May, 2021 salaries of all Political Functionaries and remit same into the Ministry of Youth and Sports Bank Account.”

If the letter is implemented, political public office holders in Osun State will have in their custody jerseys of Osun Babes and that of Osun United.

Osun Babes finished in the 8th position at the end of the 2020/2021 NWFL Premiership while Osun United on the other hand are participating in the 2021 NNL.
