Ogun State has attracted a fresh investment of 250 million dollars in its agricultural sector as Pure Dairy Herds unveils plans to establish one of the largest dairy farms in Nigeria.


The company's representative, Farouk Gumel, disclosed this after a meeting with Governor Dapo Abiodun at the Governor's Office in Abeokuta.

According to Gumel, the dairy project will be developed in partnership with international experts to boost local milk production and strengthen Nigeria's agricultural value chain.


He revealed that land acquisition for the project in Ogun West Senatorial District has been completed, clearing the way for development work to begin.


Gumel said the company chose Ogun State because of its investor-friendly policies, conducive business environment, and ongoing infrastructure development in Ogun West.

He added that the host communities have been supportive and described the location as ideal for large-scale dairy farming.


The company says preparations are underway for a groundbreaking ceremony expected within the next two to three weeks.


The investment is expected to increase local dairy production, create employment opportunities, stimulate economic activities in Ogun West, and further enhance Ogun State's reputation as a preferred destination for investment.

Always talking big on papers and media. I bet they can secure $5m of actual diary investment.
