The Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, has said his administration plans to explore oil prospects in Tongeji Island and Olokola in 2023.
“We will continue investing in the provision and supply of water. We already started this by carrying out a major overhaul of the Arakanga water works gates, which has provided for the adequate storage and supply of potable water to the people of Abeokuta and its environs.”
According to the governor, the state will soon start replacing old water pipes with new ones to aid its water sustainability project. He added that the state is committed to its ‘Light up Ogun’ project, which will allow it to generate electricity for its major towns and cities from an Independent Power Project through a PPP Joint Venture.
He further said, “We will also soon be implementing our e -mobility and Gas Mobility projects through which all our motorcycles will be battery powered and our mass transport system will be powered by compressed natural gas.” Abiodun also stated that the state would finish the 250-bed hospital at Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, in partnership with the Afrexim Bank, and the Mother and Child Specialist Hospital at the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, Sagamu, would be built in partnership with the Abdul Samad Rabiu Foundation.All rights reserved.
