Ona Ara Local Government Executive Chairman, Dr. Temitope Kolapo GLORIOUS, has called on investors to explore opportunities in the area as he commissioned the second FINREL Group’s Supermarket Olorunsogo branch. The event, held on Friday, marked the company’s second office in Ona Ara Local Government.
This was disclosed in a press statement signed by the Chairman’s Press Secretary, Mr. Rahmon Alawode, and made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Monday morning.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Temitope GLORIOUS expressed profound gratitude to His Excellency, Governor Seyi Makinde, for the reconstruction of the first phase of the Olorunsogo-Dagbolu road, which had suffered decades of neglect.

He assured residents that more companies would be opening in the area soon, promising sustained efforts to attract further investments.
Pharm (Dr) Jaiyesimi Obajimi, the MD/CEO of FINREL Group, commended Dr. GLORIOUS for his maturity and understanding during the land acquisition process, acknowledging that the land originally belonged to the Local Government. He also thanked the guests and well-wishers who graced the occasion.
