Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, in this encounter with AZEEZ OLORUNLOMERU, spoke on programmes and activities embarked upon by his administration to consolidate the profile of the state as Nigeria’s top investment destination in addition to keeping faith with the social contract he signed with Ogun residents almost three years on.
We appreciated the fact that, yes we have the industrial hubs that earned us the respectable status of being the Industrial Capital of this country. But sadly, by the time we assumed office, companies were beginning to leave that industrial corridor to go to Lekki and even neighbouring countries because of the parlous state of infrastructure leading to that industrial hub.
When we assumed office, we hit the ground running. We rolled up our sleeves. We looked at the area of security. We felt that all our lofty ideas would not be achievable if there was no peace and security. We strengthened and repositioned our Security Trust Fund. We made it private sector-led. We appointed the Chairman of Lafarge as the chairman of the Trust Fund. We funded it more generously with counterpart funding.
We remain so and we are consolidating our leadership. We have the largest number of tertiary institutions in the country. So, we are serious about education. We looked at the education sector and we decided to begin to intervene right from the basic education level. Our public schools have witnessed massive rehabilitation. We’ve done over a thousand schools and yet it appears as if it is a drop in the ocean.
I haven't been to Ogun State for sometimes now. Guardian should tell us in specific analysis beyond photo trick the purported huge infrastructure embarked upon to attract investors. Recall that Ogun, the Lagos axis has been a mini investors hub years back. What's new?
