That's interesting when one considers that it's coming from the President (who ought to know such facts and figures being the 'Oga at the top' and all). Now, if just the two states control that much, which of the remaining 34 states come control the remainder??

Its 2015 baby .....
Anything for the votes, believe that at your own peril

Yes 55% of economic activities take place in Lagos and Ogun but we know those who run the show and they are not from that region. The same people own 72% of landed property in Abuja according to El-Rufai the then minister for FCT.

AJINATU:
Is it a lie that Lagos & Ogun are the haven for FDI's coming to Nigeria?

Is it a lie that almost 90 % of the multi national companies in Nigeria have their HQ in Lagos?

Is it a lie that Ogun has the higest number of Industries & Universities in Nigeria?

Is it a lie that Lagos-Ibadan expressway with 70% of it within the Ogun axis is the most strategic road in Nigeria?

MisterLongman:

And that amounts to 55% of the economy of 36 states and a federal capital territory...

AJINATU:
YES !!!

More than half of the all non-Oil investment in Nigeria are within Lagos & Ogun

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday said Nigeria
would overcome her current challenges, just as he
regretted the emergence of Aminu Tambuwal as
Speaker of the House of Representatives at the
expense of Mulikat Akande-Adeola, the Peoples
Democratic Party preferred candidate for the position.
President Jonathan, who made the declaration in Ile-
Ife, while addressing a day summit, organised by the
Yoruba Concerned Leaders with the theme: “Nigeria
Development: Whither the Yoruba” extolled the virtues
of Yoruba people, describing their contributions to all
spheres of the nation’s life as “exemplary”.
He, however, hinged the inability of Akande-Adeola to
emerge Speaker to the decision by some people from
the region, who “thought otherwise”.
He said “one of the problems I face is the National
Assembly. Our party has arrangement for positions.
When a president and vice president emerge from
different regions, other offices – the Senate President,
Secretary to the Government of the Federation, the
party chairman and Speaker of House of
Representatives must come from different geo-
political zones.
“The idea is that when we are to decide, people in
these positions meet with us to decide on crucial
things. In that case we want every geo-politically
zones to be represented in that inner caucus of our
party.
Last time, it was difficult for me because I insisted that
South West must get Speaker but some of us within
South West didn’t want that because of personal
ambition and I am still suffering for that till today.
“That is why I am telling our leaders here that this time
around we must work together and ensure that
whatever position that is zoned to South West, we
must get and no one should rob us of it”.
Speaking further at the event held at Oduduwa Hall in
Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU, Ile Ife, Jonathan
averred that his administration had been fair to the
people of South West and assured that the import of
the strategic position the region occupies, as touches
on the economy of the country, is not lost on his
administration.
Referring to the assertion by businessman and
politician, Barrister Jimoh Ibrahim, who in his remarks
earlier, relied on the World Bank poverty ratings of
regions in the country which listed South West as
having 16 per cent while North East has the highest
rate of 52 per cent, Jonathan maintained that South
West region would continue to enjoy robust economy
owing to the active economic activities around Lagos
and Ogun states which, according to him, has almost
55 per cent of the nation’s economic activities.
“When Jimoh was talking about World Bank statistics
of the poverty rate in regions in the country, he said
South West has least in the country. In fact, Lagos and
Ogun contributed almost 55 per cent of the economic
activities.
So, we know where the wealth is, the infrastructures
there must be provided,” Jonathan said.
