Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has turned a street-side hustle into a life-changing opportunity, appointing a puff-puff vendor, Ms. Oluwatosin Adejumo, as a chef in the Osun State Government House.
The governor, who had promised Adejumo employment after a chance encounter during a labour rally in Osogbo on August 29, officially presented her appointment letter on Friday.
Adeleke announced the fulfilment of the promise on his official X handle, declaring:
> “A few days ago, I met Ms. Oluwatosin Adejumo during the rally where labour unions and other groups declared support for my re-election. Today, I have kept that promise by officially presenting her appointment letter as one of our Government House chefs. Beyond this, I have also approved a scholarship for her up to the Master’s level, should she wish to further her education.”
Adejumo, who holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) and has undergone formal catering training, became a viral sensation when a video showed the governor purchasing her entire tray of puff-puff for ₦50,000.
Her story has since blossomed into a tale of resilience meeting opportunity, with Adeleke’s gesture drawing widespread applause as a symbol of compassion-driven leadership.
