Written by News Desk on September 8, 2025
Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has rated the State highly as an investment hub in Nigeria at the ongoing Intra-African Trade Fair in Algeria.
Speaking during a session titled “Investment Showcase: Unveiling Opportunities from Selected African and Caribbean Sub-Sovereigns” the Governor said proactive initiatives had helped the state to break trade barriers and draw investors closer.
While maintaining that underdeveloped infrastructure militated against Africa’s vast potential, Abiodun highlighted key strategies for economic transformation and growth to include the Gateway International Cargo Airport, the Ijebu-Ode and Kajola Dry Ports and over 1,200 kilometres of upgraded roads.
He said those facilities would support rapid growth and development.
Governor Abiodun hinted that investment processes have been made easy through the OgunInvest,a One-Stop Investment Centre and a GIS-enabled Land Bank covering 300,000 hectares of pre-verified land to ease permits and approvals.
He described access to Lagos ports, ECOWAS markets, and the Benin Republic border as variables which position Ogun State favourably for investment.
Dapo Abiodun identified policy certainty, partnerships with international financial institutions, and structured government-industry dialogue as factors that attract investment to the State.
