The Osun State Governor, Adetola Adeleke, has endorsed the traditional approach to food price control introduced by some traditional rulers in Osun State. Governor Adeleke has directed the Food Security Implementation Committee in the state to expedite efforts to ensure the realization of a secure and accessible food supply value chain.
He described the approach by the traditional rulers as “a local innovation to lower increasing food inflation across the state.' DAILY POST gathered that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, directed market women and men in Ife land to reduce the cost of foodstuffs. Oba Ogunwusi also disbanded the association of market women and men in Ife.
' He praised the traditional rulers for impressing upon market leaders the need to avoid unnecessary price increases and called on all other traditional rulers in Osun State to emulate the actions of the royal fathers at Ile Ife, Ede, Igbajo, Iwo, and other areas. “I task our royal fathers to engage market associations and stop the exploitation of our people. I read the report of the initiative by the Ooni of Ife.
