The British Deputy High Commissioner to Nigeria, Laure Beaufils, has said that Ogun State alone attracts 75 per cent of the Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria.

The British envoy stated this when she led a delegation from the Department for International Development on a courtesy visit to the governor in his office in Abeokuta, a statement by Adejuwon Soyinka, the Senior Special Assistant (Media) to Amosun, on Friday, said.

The envoy expressed delight at the development and asked how the administration had been able to achieve the feat.

Beaufils expressed the intention of the British government to engage the state and assist it in the agricultural and agro-allied sector.

Responding, the governor thanked the DFID for the offer, but stressed the need for the agency to assist the state in several other areas.

He said his administration would always interface with development partners and agencies that have the wherewithal to support the state.

Commending the agency for its contributions to the development of Nigeria so far, the governor urged it to further assist Nigeria in its bid to diversify its economy.

Taking advantage of its proximity to Lagos. I still believe the state need to do a whole lot if it want to catch up with Lagos.

Biafman:
British divide and conquer agenda in nigeria. Tell the willing slaves (yorubas) to their heir (hausa/fulanis) what they want and need to hear so that the willing slave will continue to support oneness of the British company called nigeria which is being guarded tightly for them (British) by their heir (hausa/fulanis). Namas!

But i heard that amosun is'nt working, at least investors aren't attracted to place with unfavorable government policy and detering infrastructure. Maybe Amosun is actually working.

Biafman:

The yorubas and the British colonialists are the economic beneficiaries of SE/SS sufferings and resources being pillaged by northern oligarchy made up of hausa/fulani. Britain must always release this sort of propaganda to make the yorubas feel good and see reasons to keep on assisting in keeping their "factory" called nigeria one.

"Propaganda" to make Yorubas feel good you say?
You people are definitely not normal thinking people. See how you blatantly contradicted yourself in just 2 lines of typing..lol Yorubas are the biggest beneficiaries of Niger Delta wahala according to you, YET this news of success happening in Ogun is "Propaganda"
You think Ogun state is on the same level with that overhyped poophole called Anambla?

MrMaestro:
This will ultimately help Nigerians as a whole. As the southwest continues to develop, people can see that as an option to make a living, instead of traveling to these other countries, a lot of times dying on the way. Or being brutally attacked there by xenophobists (South Africa, India). I'd much rather have other Nigerians find that they can make their future in the southwest or other parts of Nigeria, than going to these other stupid countries and face attack on their lives.

God bless Yorubaland
God bless all other tribes
God bless Nigeria
