Ogun state should stfu, only the ogun villages sharing boarder with Lagos have industries because of expansion of lagos, it has nothing to do with ogun people or ogun government otherwise the industries will be in Abeokuta. Look at this google map, if there should be any slight adjustment of boundary Ogun will be worse than Yobe

Most of you guys are largely uneducated, businesses are sited in places due to proximities to factors that aid productions and markets, basic highschool economics.

Going by your warped logic, Umuahia should be the most industrialized part of Abia state not Aba.

Better go back to high school.

Pls wht position is abia and Anambra state

Don't mind those villagers. They have nothing upstairs than akpu and agbotic and half education.

Infact, according to the latest ranking ogun is now the second,behind lagos.
Can you imagine the village comparing ogun state that can swallow the whole alaigbo together to one village in their akpu land

Wonder, they say shall never end sef

With your IGR you can't pay ordinary workers salaries

See Ogun civil servants in bush hiding because of the Agbero in your government house, all the projects he started has been abounded with much debt hanging in your neck and upcoming generation

it is not about cursing, there is nothing in ogun, just benefiting from Lagos expansion. Ibandan (Oyo) is the capital of old western region and Enugu the capital of old Eastern region beats it in the IGR you posted

i dont understand you logic, there is no Ogun city withing that axis only ogun industrial villages targeting Lagos, there are no businesses or thriving commercial activities in those area just factories. Abeokuta and ijebu ode are the actual ogun towns and have nothing. Aba is a city of its own having everything that make a functional city, Ogun is a state and the industrial areas are not withing ogun towns and cities but rural border villages with lagos, this shows industrialization of the place has nothing to do with ogun otherwise it would target ogun cities and towns and secondly it would have been industrial from the begininng like Aba unlike what we have in those ogun border villages which is a very recent occurence as a result of Lagos being filled up

ranking of what?? , ogun is empty and poor, lagos expanded and industrialist sought cheap land from ogun and their govt got IGR from that. Tell me the industries in ogun main towns of Abeokuta and Ijebu Ode. This is not about cursing like a kid

Aba is a full fledged city, and all its industries are within the vicinity of the city and not on the villages sharing boarder with PH, thats the difference. Ogun cities are Abeokuta and Ijebu Ode, tell us the industries there

I simply don't want to waste my time with you.

Ogun remains the limestone mining capital of Nigeria, so industrialists should move their industries away from places where limestones are deposited to Abeokuta.

Geepee Industries, Shongai packaging, Drug field pharmaceutical, Sewell pharmaceuticals, are all located where?

TATA and Pro Force automobile are located where?

Even if Ogun state is reaping the benefits of her nearness to Lagos, how has that become the recipe for your migraine?

IT began as an innocent question but soon degenerated into a heated argument. And what is this question, one might? Between Lagos and Ogun, which has more industries? The Lagos fans would not imagine any state in the country taking the lead in terms of commerce and industrialisation. They were ready to put their last kobo on the line.

They readily cited the ports and some industries around the Ogba and Ikeja axis. But after a thorough analysis, it was generally agreed that Ogun State is now the industrial hub of the nation. The state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun attested to this recently during the administration’s second anniversary.

Senator Amosun would tell anyone who cares to listen that Ogun has the largest number of industries and that the state is now a preferred choice destination for investment. And this boast is not hot air. An accountant of repute with many years of experience, Gov. Amosun has been able to muscle industries in the state which hitherto paid taxes and levies to the Lagos State to put their money where their mouth is. And he has succeeded in this regard such that from a base of an Internal Generated Revenue, IGR, of N730m as at May 2011 every month, it rose to N3.8b in May 2013 and is still counting.

Thus, according to the Governor,”today, Ogun State is not only open for business, it is business”.

For him, the economic gains are there for all to see. With 123 companies showing readiness to locate their manufacturing outfits in the state and 32 of this figure already on ground at different levels of operation, while 27 have fully commenced operations, Ogun no doubt is gradually becoming the hottest ‘industrial hub’ in town. Perhaps, it is against this backdrop that the State government says its Bureau of Lands and Survey is being restructured to make it more efficient with transparent and accountable operations.

Ogun has one Federal University: the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAB), one state government college of education, named after the late Nigerian educationist of international repute Augustus Taiwo Solarin in 1994 as Tai Solarin College of Education (TASCE),(formerly known as Ogun State College of Education, Ijagun, Ijebu-Ode, one Federal Polytechnic, Ilaro, one state government polythechnic named after late Nigerian business mogul and political icon the acclaimed winner of June 12, 1993 election, Basorun Moshood Kasimawo Olawale Abiola as Moshood Abiola Polythechnic (MAPOLY), formerly known as Ogun State Polythechnic, Ojere, Abeokuta, and two state government universities: Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye (formerly known as Ogun State University), and the Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) Ijebu Ode. Ogun State has a total of nine registered universities, the highest of any state in Nigeria. It has five private universities. Amongst others are Covenant University and Babcock University in Ilisan-Remo, which was the first private university in the country. The state has two major government hospitals: the Federal Medical Center at Abeokuta, and the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital in Sagamu. The National Youth Service CorpsNYSC Permanent Orientation Camp is located at Sagamu Local Government area of the state.

Ogun state is a developed state in Nigeria.. ...a state not owing workers and also borrow less.. .....ogun state may benefit from Lagos, that's not a point but the truth is that Ogun is a state that contributes largely go the COuntrys GDP. Ogun state is the industrial hub of Nigeria... .with all its major cities having What they are specialised in. Abeokuta-administrative ijebu ode_ commercial sagamu-industrial and cultural sango Otta-industrial among others

LMAO, those that called you brainless are not far from the truth.
Nobody said ogun is a commercial state, instead they said ogun is an industrialized state.
So because abeokuta the capital isn't industrialized then the whole state isn't abi. Use ur brain na

The fact is mowe, ibafo ,agbara, ifo, ewekoro etc are in ogun state and they are industrial towns.
You can deal with that.
Besides Ota is a commercial town if you don't know.

And closeness to lagos isn't the only reason why ogun state has a lot of industries. There are other factors like

Being a border state to Benin republic, it will be easier to move goods there through ogun state.
Ogun borders oyo state, ondo state, edo state .

Maybe you need to go back to your SS 1 economics textbook and study factors that affect location of industries.

Besides what you have in aba are shops and not industries.
And you said enugu is ahead of oyo state in IGR
but ogun state is ahead of enugu and lagos state is the highest.

If three south west states can be at the top and only ur regional capital enugu is struggling to be there then it further confirms what we have been saying, south east is cursed

Why are our fllat head brothers getting angry for Gov. Amosun's drunk statement? Person no dey play with una again? A drunk only realises his foolishness after waking up from a long sleep. Amosun just shared some ogogoro with GEJ, let him sleep and wake up.
