Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun has called on the US to partner with his administration in its ongoing rebuilding agenda. Amosun made the call in Abeokuta when he received a delegation of the U.S. Congress, led by Mr Jeffrey Hawkins, the U.S. Consular-General to Nigeria.

The governor particularly requested the U.S. to invest in the non-oil sector in Ogun state. He said that the state was blessed with many mineral deposits in commercial quantities, and that such resources include bitumen, kaolin phosphate, granite and limestone.

Amosun, who urged the U.S. Government to take advantage of the business opportunities in the state, said that Ogun was open to genuine investors.

The governor described the state as the investment destination of choice, and assured the team of a conducive business climate and encouraging returns on investment.

Hawkins had earlier said the team was on a mission to know more about Nigeria, adding that the delegation was in Ogun to witness the ongoing infrastructure development in the state.

Yorubest: Yorubaland is progressing again just like they did as the Western Region before the military incursion in politics.

I urge every Yoruba man and woman, boy and girl, irrespective of political or religious inclinations, to support the DAWN agenda

Yorubaland o ni baje

Eko Atlantic:

Oyo-"Oyo oni daru"
Ondo-"Ishe Logun Ishe"
Ekiti-(can't remember)

Standing5: Let them go try that in some southern states like Rivers, Delta, Part of Edo, Bayelsa and see if 30 % of that money wouldn't be used for community settlement before the impose their local labourers on them. Ogun deserves all what they are getting today.

malc619: Kudos also to GEJ......

I'm not here to promote any party, but .......

orgasticdance:
kolomentality at its ignorant peak, wat happened to using the brawns and brains of ur local talent to build a world class plant, spread the love/greed to other states and african countries and compete with Pand G on a grand scale like chinese companies are doing today. This is nothing to celebrate.

agbameta: I see industrialization moving away from Lagos to deep inside the SW because Lagos state is at it's MAX, the only room they have left is for tourism and finance and corporate administration.

Salmoneus: Ok, so where would they get the basic electricity to power this mega plant?

De Sheikh: this is stale news. the P&G plant is almost nearing completion. Ground breaking was done since 2012. and FYI, P&G has been in Nigeria since 1992. First Plant is in Oluyole, Ibadan (where Pampers, Always,Ariel and Vicks are produced). Another Plant in Lagos produces the current No. 1 antiseptic soap in the world (SAFEGUARD) which is already catching up with the market leader (Dettol). P&G is a truly multinational company and currently employs hundreds of Nigerians (paying one of the highly competitive salaries in the industry).
The Agbarra plant is a move to meet the ever growing demand for P&G's life improving brands whose demand far outweighs the production capacity of the existing manufacturing plants.
and FYI, I speak from an insider point of view (just in case you were wondering).

0monnakoda: These are good developments but we should not gloat>Ultimately it is good for the entire Nigeria to develop and also our West African neighbours as the EU nations have learnt.I am not saying we should wait for anyone but we must be national and even international in our political outlook.We must care about illiteracy and religious extremism in Northern Nigeria and even Niger republic. There is an emerging evil in Nigeria and that is hard drugs it is really taking root and can undo most of the progress we are celebrating. I am talking of


manufacured tablets and stimuants in home laboratories in Festac and other Lagos suburbs it is a cancer and so we must be holistic in pursuing development.What can we do about those who are setting up these labs with as much planning as Procter and Gamble?? We can influence many of these hings when we have influence at the centre. I prefer the term influence to power. Gradually we should move to a situation where the police are indigenous except those required for extreme situations e.g Mobile Police then we can start dealing with the cockroaches who wish to destroy our society with their drugs.

TCUBE:

never hear do DAWN agenda. what is it?
