Representing the State’s Commissioner for Finance and Chief Economic Adviser, Mr. Dapo Okubadejo, Olabimtan said the project has positively impacted over 24,800 farmers through interventions in crop production, aquaculture, and poultry. He added that rehabilitation works on poultry pens and storage facilities are ongoing to improve productivity and reduce post-harvest losses.

In the area of skills development, he noted that all eight Government Technical Colleges across the state are undergoing rehabilitation to create conducive and modern learning environments. He added that more than 17,000 individuals including women, youths, and farmers have completed various literacy and vocational training programmes, while an additional 24,000 are currently enrolled under the Ogun State Skills Fund.

Highlighting progress under the Business Enabling Environment component, Olabimtan revealed that over 15,000 Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-Os) have been processed and issued, enhancing land security and investor confidence in the state.
