The Osun State Government has digitalized the issuance of state and local government certificates of origin starting from today, Wednesday, February 14, 2024.

The state government under the leadership of Governor Ademola Adeleke in collaboration with the State Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON) enjoined the general public to hereby obtain their Automated Local Government Certificate of Origin as well as State of Origin Certificates on the recently launched portal at https://stateoforigin.osunstate.gov.ng

In a news release signed by the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Oluomo Kolapo Alimi, the government urged all Osun indigenes who wish to obtain their local government certificate of origin as well as State of Origin Certificates to log in to the portal from wherever they are all over the world.

They are to fill in their details and be rest assured that after verification is done, the electronic certificate of Origin for their Local Government will be available for download for use.

Furthermore, there is a provision for any individual with an old Local Government Certificate of Origin who wishes to convert the old one to the new automated electronic certificate to login to the portal, upload the old certificate and the new one will be issued.

The release therefore implored the public to know that this initiative is in line with Governor Adeleke’s ease of doing business efforts.

The initiative also aligns with the Governor’s vision of ensuring improved and efficient service delivery in all sectors and arms of the state.

Members of the public should note that henceforth the state of origin certificate as well as local government certificate of origin will not be obtained physically at state or Local government offices again but only through the electronic portal only (https://stateoforigin.osunstate.gov.ng )

The State ALGON Chairman, Hon. Sarafadeen Awotunde described the programme as a very good initiative to improve the image of all the local government councils in Osun State as well as optimize service delivery to Osun indigenes.
