Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has signed a bill for a new logo design, which was passed by the Osun State House of Assembly.
The announcement was made on April 17, 2024, via the official social media handle of the state government.
The redesign of the logo is seen as a symbol of rebirth for the state, incorporating elements that represent the state’s historic anthem, values, and traditions.
Governor Adeleke expressed his excitement about the new logo, stating that it is not only a representation of the state’s identity but also an educational resource for the younger generation.
It includes symbols of the state’s landmarks, strengths, resources, and history, and serves as a tool to market the state both at home and abroad.
The Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, Adewale Egbedun, highlighted the significance of the new logo, emphasizing its reflection of the state’s community, traditions, and potential.
However, the unveiling of the new logo has sparked a range of reactions from netizens.
Some netizens have criticized the move as misplaced priorities, arguing that the state should focus on addressing the rising economic hardship faced by its people.
On the other hand, there are those who have congratulated Governor Adeleke for the reform, acknowledging the creative and symbolic elements of the new logo.
Abou Ahyan Opeyemi praised Governor Adeleke as the most creative governor in the West, while others like Theo Abu and Onifade Dolapo expressed their reservations about the new logo, questioning its necessity and the financial implications of the project.
Despite the mixed reactions, the new logo represents a significant step in the state’s rebranding efforts, aiming to promote a new life of prosperity, abundance, and sustainability for its people and admirers.
As the state moves forward with its new symbol, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the overall perception and development of the state.
