Ogun State has emerged as a pivotal entity in Nigeria, steadily growing in strategic importance. Strategically situated near Lagos, it serves as a vital commercial corridor, connecting the nation’s economic hub to the Southwest region. By living up to its reputation as the Gateway State, Ogun unlocks opportunities for enterprise, tourism, and development.Economically and infrastructurally, the state has progressed significantly, and its political journey has been outstanding in all facets.
It is with great pleasure that I join in celebrating this milestone with Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun, while praying for increased unity within Ogun State and beyond, to ensure that the state’s progress translates into rapid growth for its inhabitants.
