S-west Govs Open Malls At Former Daily Sketch Space by fkaz(m): 7:45am On Nov 01, 2013
BADAN—Governors in the South West states, yesterday, gathered at the commissioning of two ultra-modern malls built by Odu’a Investment Limited.
While Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State was there, his counterparts from Osun, Ogun, Ekiti and Ondo states sent their representatives.
The mall now occupies the space used by the defunct Daily Sketch Newspapers, Dugbe, Ibadan.
While speaking at the ceremony, Governor Ajimobi said: “For us as an administration and you as a company, both of us with notable pedigree and heritage, today is another icing on our historic cake.”
Ajimobi who said the malls would provide 2,000 jobs noted that the vision to construct malls of this international class was conceived some years ago by the board and management of the company.
He said the vision of Odu’a Investment was to redefine business activities and improve the quality of lives in Ibadan and other neighboring states.
In his address, the Group Managing Director of O’dua Investment, Mr. Adebayo Jimoh said that the development of the malls was borne out of the need and demand by highly placed individuals in the South-West who spent time and money traveling to Lagos for shopping.
Also speaking, a former Chairman of Odua Investment, Prince Julius Adelusi-Adeluyi stressed the need for social and economic integration by all the Yoruba-speaking states so as to bring the South-West geo-political zone back to the path of development as it was in the days of the late Premier of the defunct Western Region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.
The commissioning was well-attended by politicians, captains of industry and royal fathers from Yoruba land.

Ekiti State

With an annual capacity to produce 20 million units of blocks, the Burnt Bricks Factory at Ire-Ekiti, Ekiti State will resume operation next month, it was learnt yesterday.

The plant, jointly owned by Oodua Investment and Ekiti State government is being refurbished to compete with conventional brick molders in the Southwest and Northcentral.

Already, the state government has indicated to patronize the products of the factory – burnt bricks for its building projects, including public schools.

State Deputy Governor Prof Modupe Adelabu dropped the hint yesterday during an on-the-spot assessment of the rehabilitation of the multi-million naira factory located in Oye Local Government Area of the state.

After tour of facilities, guided by the project manager, Mr. Abiodun Adedeji, the deputy governor said the resuscitation of the moribund factory was in tune with the radical approach of the Governor Kayode Fayemi to enlist Ekiti on the industrial map of Nigeria.

Besides, she said the factory, when operational, will provide employment for the teaming youths thereby reducing rural-urban drifts and brain drain which the government has been battling to reverse.

She disclosed that the purpose of her visit was to ascertain the completion level and the production capacity from the appropriate quarter because the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), an agency under her supervision, would patronize the bricks from the factory for the perimeter fencing of public schools and for the construction of government projects.

Adelabu, who expressed satisfaction at the level of completion, urged handlers of the project to expedite action to deliver the project on schedule, saying the factory will also boost the state economy.

Mr. Adedeji, who took the deputy governor round the plant, put the level of work attained at more than 80 per cent, pointing out that the state government had invested N550 million money on the rehabilitation of the moribund plant.

According to him, the plant would offer about 300 direct employment opportunities, while several others would be engaged in one form or the other, when completed.

He also confirmed that factory will resume production next month even as he informed that expatriates are due in the state on Friday to handle the highly technical and mechanical aspect of rehabilitation.

The expatriates will also train local artisans who will operate the plant.
