A street puff-puff vendor, Ms. Oluwatosin Adejumo, has been appointed as a chef in the Osun State Government House after catching the attention of Governor Ademola Adeleke during a recent labour rally in Osogbo.
It had earlier been widely reported on August 29, Adeleke surprised a puff-puff seller during a rally in Osogbo by buying all her snacks with ₦50,000, and offering her employment as a chef at the Government House.
Adeleke announced the appointment on Friday via his official X handle, describing it as a promise fulfilled.
“A few days ago, I met Ms. Oluwatosin Adejumo during the rally where labour unions and other groups declared their 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,” he said.
Adejumo, who holds a Nigerian Certificate in Education (NCE) and has received formal catering training, became a viral sensation after a video showed the governor purchasing her entire tray of puff-puff for ₦50,000.
