No Going Back On Osunwon Omoluabi- Osun Govt

The state government of Osun has reacted to the protest embarked upon by the state market women over the usage of standard weighing scale (Osuwon Omoluabi) against the conventional module scale.

The Director, bureau of communications and strategy Semiu Okanlawon had in a press statement expressed sadness over the protest. The statement read in part "The attention of the Government of Osun has been drawn to a protest embarked upon by some market women at the secretariat Osogbo today."

"Their protest was ostensibly to press home their rejection of the use of the standard weight and measure (Osunwon Omoluabi) which the government introduced last year as part of the efforts to standardize commercial transactions in our state.
We consider this rather to be sad, unfortunate and totally uncalled for."

Okanlawon opined that introduction of  Osunwon Omoluabi was done to after wide consultation with the state market women stressing further that the new scale is introduced  by the current administration to bring our commercial transactions at par with the most civilized and acceptable norm on commerce across the globe.


" It is therefore a surprise that attempts by officials who sought enforcement of the use of the scale and measures in some markets on Tuesday and Wednesday were resisted by some."

"We have assured all, including the women who protested today, that the government means well and should there still be a few who are not at home with this new culture we are trying to encourage and enforce, the government will stop at nothing at ensuring that every stakeholder is made to buy into this noble culture",the statement ended.
