  • Oyo State launched the Oyo State Labour and Skills Registry, a digital database covering skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers across all 33 local government areas.
  • The platform is meant to match employers and investors with verified manpower more easily while letting residents upload their skills, qualifications and work histories digitally.
  • Officials said the registry should improve workforce planning, labour-market coordination and access to business support services, reinforcing the state’s ease-of-doing-business reforms.
  • At the Ibadan stakeholder session, government agencies, artisans, traders, manufacturers, MSMEs and development partners backed the rollout, while a technical demo showed mobile registration and statewide implementation plans.
  • Oyo linked the initiative to its broader reform push, noting the state ranked third in Nigeria in the 2025 Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council assessment.
