PPP: Abiodun Breaks Ground for $400m Agro Processing Zone James Sowole in Abeokuta In pursuance of the Public Private Partnership (PPP), initiative of the administration, Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun,
In pursuance of the Public Private Partnership , initiative of the administration, Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, yesterday turned the sword on the development of the Ogun State Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone at the Agro Cargo International Airport, located in Ilisan-Remo.
Abiodun disclosed that apart from the SAPZ, the Nigeria Customs Service has decided to locate one of its biggest facilities in the country and made full payment of N3.2bn for the first 100 hectares of land last week. He said, “I must then acknowledge and thank the President of the AFREXIM, Dr. Ben Orama, who I called to discuss further the PPP/SAPZ model with and who arranged the physical meeting between ARISE and myself. Without the trust and confidence Dr. Orama had in me, which was the basis of the reference in the first place. We definitely won’t be here today.
“We will be back here very soon to commission our international agro cargo airport in another few months and our deep sea port is also loading,” Abiodun submitted. The Chairman, the Senate Committee on Industries, Senator Adetokunbo Abiru, who described the project as an example of how the private sector can be harnessed for the economic development of Nigeria, expressed confidence that the SAPZ would boost the agricultural value chain, raise revenue, create jobs and boost export.

Gov Abiodun and FG industrial revolution awardRECENTLY, in recognition of his efforts to ensure rapid industrialisation, enhance the ease of doing business and make Ogun State Nigeria’s top investment destination, the Federal Government honoured the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, with the Distinguished Award for Industrial Revolution. The award, more or less, coincided with the confirmation by the National Bureau of Statistics that Ogun State, with its N100.9bn revenue profile in 2021, is one of the states with the highest internally generated revenue nationwide, coming only after Nigeria’s economic capital, Lagos, the Federal Capital Territory, and Rivers State, a top oil-producing state. If anything, the award is cheering news for all and sundry in Ogun State, recognising the governor’s resolve to bring positive development to the state, especially in the area of industrialisation. There is no state that can develop without industry and, contrary to the submissions of naysayers, a silent revolution has, in the last three and a half years, actually been ongoing on in the Gateway State.
