Governor Ibikunle Amosun on Friday disclosed that his administration has attracted over $200 billion investments to Ogun State in the last couple of years.
Amosun said his administration would continue to create enabling environment, infrastructure and security to attract more investors.
The Governor made this known while presenting a new 18-seater bus to the National Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), at his office in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Amosun who was represented by the Secretary to the state Government (SSG), Taiwo Adeoluwa, said Ogun State has emerged the industrial hub of Nigeria, having beaten Lagos and Kano States respectively, to become investors’ first destination of choice.
He noted that the administration would have been unable to improve the fortune of the state without the active support of NACCIMA, the organised private sector and other stakeholders; he stressed that the bus donation was meant to further acknowledge the contributions of the body to the state’s success story.
While receiving the key of the bus, the National President of NACCIMA, Iyalode Alaba Lawson, said since her emergence as head of the group, it has fostered tremendous development in the state.
Lawson pledged that NACCIMA would continue to attract more investors to the state and thus boost its socioeconomic status.
