Work begins soon on Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta road, says Abiodun

 

Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, has said work will soon commence on the Lagos- Ota-Abeokuta Expressway.

The governor also said the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered-buses would be launched next week Monday.

He spoke on Saturday at this year’s Odun Omo Owu celebration in Abeokuta.

The governor also said his administration had commenced the construction of a dry port at Kajola whose multiplying effects would further open up the state for investments.

Governor Abiodun who was the Special Guest of Honour at the occasion, said the conversion of the mass buses to CNG was part of the palliative measures taken to reduce the effects of fuel subsidy removal.

According to him, Ogun State remains the first in the country to record such achievement.

Abiodun said the creation of the Ogun State Investment Promotion Agency (OGUNIPA) and the establishment of the Ogun State Business Environment Council (OGBEC) were some of the steps taken to boost investments and eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks.

The governor declared that the state is the third in Internally Generated Revenue and the third largest economy in the country.

He said, “We have also invested heavily in security, thus making Ogun State one of the safest and most suitable states for investment to thrive in Nigeria.

“This has tremendously helped us to curtail pockets of violence across the state, especially the recent cult clashes at Sagamu.”
