The state of Osun has been ranked the most peaceful state in Nigeria.
This was unveiled by an independent Non-Government Organization (NGO), Foundation for Peace Professional (FPP), and Nigeria Peace Index (NPI) research which focused on measuring peace tendencies through foundational indices.
Reacting to this, statistician-general of the state, Professor Alagbe Gbolagade stated that the ranking of Osun as most peaceful state in Nigeria as well as a safe haven for investor was based on the data collected from year 2010-2016 during the regime of former Governor Rauf Aregbesola and the same indicator was adopted in the first quarter of year 2019 during the present administration of Mr Gboyega Oyetola.
The state statistician general observed that the result of the research followed the same trend which shows the advantage of continuity in the governance of the state of Osun.
